the kawhia kai festival

yesterday i drove to the small village of kawhia (kah-fi-ah) with my mon frere, raphael, to check out the annual kawhi kai festival. kai is maori for food and we were looking to feast.

everything involving car transport hasn't been loves this week, mid-week my ride was vandalized, a window smashed and on the way out to kawhia, a foolish delay on a right hand turn, got me in trouble with the law, a fine later and a broken window fixed, at least i'm rolling with less paper, actually, plastic here in sea-land, bills are plastic this side of fiji.

the day was beautiful and the food scrumptious. raphael and i each had a mussel fritter and finished it off with fresh fruit ice cream, a new zealand speciality as far as i know, a fusion of ice cream and fresh cream via this crazy machine. almost as dope a contraption as the round grilled cheese maker and the way in which it fuses two crusts into one perfect crust...

some selects from this weekend and it wasn't until i was editing them, that i saw the pink giants hat. send some strength to those boys in blue on the gridiron tomorrow, or is it today... ah yes, if yesterday was trying, take it from the future, things are looking brighter...

love and health to all...
