We had Simon & Gillian staying with us for the past week, which was awesome fun and an excuse to do a few things we don't normally do, and some things we do all the time...
We visited Samson at OMSI, and go to see some really old bone pathology. Extremely impressive, and they even have a Thagomizer on display (with correct Gary Larsen reference).
Of course, we had to make some beer - here's Mort selecting malt:
We also made it to a couple of nice pubs for lunch and beer. When going to a new brewpub here (i.e. where they brew their own beer on site, and it's pretty much the only place you can get a particular beer), it's a good idea to get a "Taster" of a variety of beers:
We had a great time and got thoroughly homesick for the rest of the Kiwis, our cat and our stuff. Luckily, Mort's parents are shouting us a trip home for Christmas!
