John took one for the bike club last week. As we are the International contingent of BOW WOW HOT International, he felt it was his duty to represent the NZ contingent of the club and ride to work for Bike to Work week in Des Moines. It was cold, he got rained on, had a flat tire on the way home and rode in the dark. But you can say part of us held up their end of the deal. I on the other hand rode when it was nice and warm on Sunday---- I think that counts though as it was only Saturday in DSM. Congratulations to the group for coming in 2nd place on entries! That is great!
We saw the premier of Angels and Demons last week with our free tickets from the newspaper. The movie gets two thumbs up! I liked it better then Da Vinci Code.
On Friday night we met our friends Sarah and Rod for drinks. We celebrated Sarah landing a job with a big advertising firm. She has been out of work for 6 months. It took about 4 months for her to get a work visa after they moved here from England and a couple months for her to find a job. Saturday we met up with Jo and Nick who showed us around when we came to Auckland for job interviews last Sept. Jo used to work with John while he was at Pioneer. She lives here in Auckland. They just moved into a new house and are working on getting settled. Sunday John went out sailing with the guy that he has been going with ..... sounds like it was a nice time except for getting rained on. Notice the rain theme continues to build......
We leave for Melbourne on Thursday. I will have lots of pictures and stories to share next week.

Hey you guys really put the "I" in International! It was a pretty wet Bike To Work Friday here. You missed a fun ride in Kansas City over the weekend, but it was nearly New Zealand winter cold on Saturday.
