Like nearly all weekends here at Kowhai House, I began the day with a hike to Belmont Park. The sheer size of the park has allowed me the luxury of taking a different trail each and every time I have been there. I finished weeding the garden and took a well deserved nap in the afternoon.

At 8:30 the entire house left for a night out in Wellington. We met Ben and a number of his friends at Mac's Brewery on the waterfront. Mac's Sassy Red is my favorite Kiwi beer to date so heading to its very home was a pleasure for me. Upon arriving I see some guy wearing a Seahawks jersey. It turns out Ken is from Federal Way and was at the bar because his friend, also from Seattle (Covington), was bartending. Unfortunately this wasn't enough to get us any drink specials. Mac's died around 10:30, with only a smattering of old people remaining. Near the 11 o'clock hour we headed to a karaoke place across the street. The music selections of these people was nearly as bad as the singing itself and on top of it all, there wasn't a decent looking girl in the entire joint. Ben and I coped with this disaster by hiding away in the billiards room.

What I Learned Today: In English rules pool, a scratch allows the opponents two free shots.
