We started last weekend by going a see The History Boys at the Globe Theatre.  Apparently the play won a Tony in 2006.  It was a community theater production and was very well done.
On Saturday morning we started our drive (went about 350 km this weekend) to explore the Wairarapa region.  When you open google maps, you'll see that it is southeast of Palmy.  We drove on a winding road to Castlepoint and enjoyed the beauty of the Pacific.  Rx REALLY wanted to go swimming, but he had to be satisfied with walking on the beach and the rocks.  On Sunday, we did some wine tasting in the Marlborough region.  We also did some tasting at an olive grove and a gourmet chocolate shop - bought our staples except coffee/tea.  That's all I have time for tonight.  After 2 weeks playing hooky, Rx and I went to dog club tonight for much needed obedience practice.  See ya.
