Mike you look good in a green beard!!! Thank you for another wonderful reportage!! Pretty soon you will be in the dark 24-7 right? Maybe you should start a tanning booth business so people would ge some Vitamin D. Did they feed you corned beef and cabbage with the Guinness. What do you do if you run out of cash at the pub? Nearest ATM has to be in New Zealand. What currency do you trade in with somany foreign nationals?
ReplyDeleteThe last sunset is April 24th. It doesn't get totally dark until some time in May. Everyone here takes a multivitamin with lots of D. I have some Kiwi dollars still so used that. There is an ATM in town. Very convenient and no fees. The store takes credit cards and so does the bar so one really doesn't need cash. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteOkay Mikey! I like the green beer and know how you like to get out of a party when it is late! I know you are having fun when the ATM is getting used....and you do energetic things like hiking and visiting the historical sites. Pictures are very cool and the data is interesting to track. My students are in awe, and always ask if you are okay. Yep, just a little crazy surfer dude.
ReplyDeleteLove you, Andee
Just doing all I can before it gets dark. I enjoy participating in the many varieties of recreation. I don't want to be a loner who sits in my room and drinks. There are a lot of those around.
