As the performing arts troupe prepared to leave for the evening, they explained that they wanted to sing a final song in honor of our hosts. To sing for their supper as Mark puts it. As if they hadn t earned it already! It just so happens they chose my favorite song, and you ll hear Jo and me singing along - it couldn t be helped, despite the fact I don t know all the words. When I watch this video I just tear up. This night was such an amazing experience. I ll remember it my whole life, and beyond. Finally, 12 posts later, we have reached the end of the videos depicting how I spent a few hours on June 28, 2006 at Puniho Pa Marae in the Taranaki region of Aotearoa (New Zealand). Understand that I left for this journey about three days after Vloggercon, and was all fired up to document my trip. To force myself to remain in the moment, I took only three miniDV tapes with me. I had to capture video every night, or lose the ability to record more. But after this particular night, I couldn t keep up, so this has been sitting on a hard drive since 2006. I m so glad I could finally share it. You have no idea.
