February 8, 2016. Super Bowl Monday!

LOCATION:  With friends in Auckland, New Zealand

WEATHER:  Mostly sunny. Highs in 70s

With the time zone differences, the Super Bowl started (live) at noon today, Monday.  We took the bus downtown to join the American Club watching it at a bar on the harbor.  

Waitangi Day was Saturday, but since that is a weekend, today is considered a holiday, too.  So, there were lots of people out.

We had traditional USA snacks.....sliders and nachos during the game.  The only disappointment was that the commercials did not show, as they aren't licensed here.

During part of the game, I took a walk around the nearby harbor.  This is where the mega-yachts are moored.

This one was featured in the newspaper.  It is owned by a Chinese eccentric who entertains movie stars like Leonardo DeCapriio on the yacht.  No sign of Leo or Paris Hilton today....

After the game, we took the bus home.  Our friends live just one block from another beach where a regatta was going on for the holiday.  This Maori boat was being displayed.

We had rotisserie chicken and salad for dinner, enjoying our final meal here on the deck.
