Joose and Steph

I (B) was recently in the New Hampshire for work reasons, while there I was able to visit friends from my university days who live on the coast. This is their fantastic home:

They are quite all-American it would seem:

Then Joose proudly shows off his basement torture room: (or was it the living room? it's a renovation project...)

Did I mention that they are "little people?":

They took me on a driving tour of the coast, and I was able to see the long rumored "Pirate's Cove" (Pirates' Cove?):


Unlike the famous song claims, it doesn't suck.


Seeing Joose and Steph was a highlight of my trip (just look at those smiles) - I hope I can entice them to NZ. If not, they'd better get cracking on the renovation so we can spend the summer in Rye in some not-too-distant year.
