I know that there has been quite a delay, but my internet is not always reliable or lightning-quick. So this past week has been a slow wrap-up of my rotation. We went back to the university to finish up some data collection as well as finish our paper. The sun has been shining and the weather hasn’t been too chilly this week. One evening during a light rain, we witnessed a car hitting a pedestrian 5 feet in front of us. This poor guy had no shoes on and had his pants rolled up to his knees from the rain. It was surreal and completely in slow-motion. He turned out to be alright, but quite shaken up. I have made a resolution to carry my camera with me anytime I run. Andrea and I took a 2 hour walk around the city and out to the harbor. It just happened to be an amazingly sunny day with not a cloud in the sky. Dunedin is the home to New Zealand’s only dental school and also home to what I like to call Molarhenge. Quite a masterpiece, eh?
At lunch today, one of the New Zealand dental students asked Andrea what would happen if she became a sir. I figured I would do some interpreting since I was the only one aware that they had two very different paths for the question. Andrea was trying to decide if she should be offended since she was asked what she would be called if she had a sex-change, while he meant to ask what she would be called if she was dubbed by the Queen. It made for quite the laugh though.

This is the final countdown for Andrea’s last week here and we are trying to fit in as much as we can before she leaves. On the agenda are the local farmer’s market, our favorite breakfast place, and one more trip around the south island. I am so excited about having a ticket for the All Blacks rugby game on Saturday. Apparently rugby is quite the deal down here, so it will make for an amazing night!
