Our afternoon activity was the Treaty House – where the Maori/British relationship was formed. Still not clear on all the details, but Josh, the History Channel King, was really into it. There was a 35 meter canoe… 35 meters! It was made out of a single Kauri tree. Pretty rockin. It takes at least 80 men to operate and they take it out each year on their “independence day” – when they asked Britian to rule over them…?? Whatever. Still cool. (sorry - it's hard to take a brilliant pic of a 35 meter long boat thing... you get the idea...)
They also had this cool carved room with tons of Mauri faces and totem poles type things covering the walls… that was REALLY cool.
Josh can for sure tell you more about the history part – he loves that, but I think my favorite parts were the gardens and the fun carved room… and that’s your history lesson for the day… kinda…

is it my imagination or is Josh's beard getting bigger and bushier? Audrey- do you have a cold?
