ballroom bedroom
we've arrived at our second farm-stay. the drive up was a real treat, as our car doesn't seem to receive any radio stations at all. halfway here we stopped at a thrift store in attempt to remedy the situation, and we are now the reluctant owners of three cassette tapes: bach's organ works (fugues), the piano--movie soundtrack, and a tape called "hollywood love songs," which features instrumental versions of the hits from 80s movies like top gun, deer hunter, and mad max.
the highlight of our voyage north was cafe eutopia. a cross between aladdin and the smurfs, it may just be my second favorite roadside attraction ever (i'm not sure anything will ever top south-central kentucky's dinosaur world).
so now we're "settled in" at our new temporary home--a large tropical garden. the work has been fairly easy, the garden is beautiful, and the food is delicious. we don't really have a bedroom. we sleep on the floor in a multipurpose room that's rented out for banquets and such. there are no curtains on the windows and we have to pack up our bedding and backpacks and lock them in a closet every morning. on saturday they're having a wedding anniversary party in our "bedroom," so there'll be no sleeping till the dancing stops.
also, tyson has confronted, but not yet overcome, his new distaste for bees (pictures to follow).

actually, there have been some dinosaur bones found in new zealand. not many, and they would all fit in a backpack, but according to the exhibit we saw at the war memoral museum in auckland, there is evidence of several types of dinosaurs. the first find was made by joan wiffen, an amateur paleontologist, in 1975.
