Farewell to Friends

We bid farewell to our friends and fellow US expats, James and Elise. Elise is a physician from Phoenix and she and James came to New Zealand for a year stint as well. They arrived in Hawera about a month before us and we've had the pleasure of getting to know them over the year. James and I went for a flight in the club's 172 around the mountain and he took some great shots. It was a beautiful day and we got to see Mt Taranaki with his head sticking out of the clouds.

A good look at Hawera. Note the dairy plant in the upper right.
Elise finished her year in early September and we met at the water tower for a final photo. Good luck James and Elise!
Goodbye at the water tower
