Dieter Visit
Friday our globe-trotting friend Dieter stopped by on his way to Frankfurt, for what was essentially an extended 24-hour layover in San Francisco. It was a short visit but very fun, and we managed to pack in a lot of good food, good conversation and even a little Napoleon Dynamite.
We picked Sophie up early from daycare to spend some time with Uncle Chris, and she demonstrated her Bumper Jumper with newfound enthusiasm for almost an hour. She didn't want to eat before we left, but as we drove across town to meet Brandie & John at the restaurant she wanted her bottle so Chris obligingly turned around in the front seat and fed her til I managed to pull over and let him jump in the back seat with her. He was a real pro, thanks again Uncle Chris!
Dinner was excellent, and after coffee and dessert we headed back to the house to put Sophie to bed and sample the new bottle of Scotch Chris had brought. It too was great - thanks also for the New Zealand teddy bear, Chris & Joanna!
Go All Blacks!

Thanks so much for making time to visit Chris. It is always great seeing you. We can't wait to bring the wee one down to NZ for a more thorough south island tour.

Oh you know it! Bruschetta, veal saltimbocca, and chocolate torte with two bottles of wine! It was a decadent evening indeed!

And that was just the wine Brandie drank! Sophie sure was hungover the next day.
