9 Akuhata 2008

I tēnei rā i haere mātou ko Viviana, ko Paula ki te taunga rererangi. Kei te taha o te papa rere te karapu rererangi. Kua whakaritea te whare karapu hei wāhi hui mō ngā tāngata o AFS. E 60 pea ngā tāngata i tae atu, mātua mai, tamariki mai. He hui e tūtakitaki ai i ngā tāngata kātahi anō ka tae mai (he pēnei i a māua ko Aroha), i ērā hoki e rere atu ana, i te hunga hoki kua roa te noho i Chile nei.

Ko te kai, ko te asado, arā, te kai rorerore. He rawe te mīti o konei, me ngā notinoti, los longanizas, koina ngā notinoti pai rawa i kai ai au! Kainga ai i roto i te parāoa hōu, ka karangahia ko ngā choripán, e whā i pau i a au!

Ka mutu te kai, tūtū ai te hunga haere ki te kōrero, ki te whakangahau. Kei mua noa atu ngā Māori mo te whakangahau! I te korero hoki ki tētahi kōtiro i tae mai i te rererangi i tae mai ai te famoso Īhaia. I haurangi pai taua Māori rā me ōna hoa tokorua no Ahitereiria i runga i te rererangi. I te omaoma haere. I tangi hoki te tama no Ahitereiria, he nui no te haurangi te take!

Hei taua pō i haere mātou ko Viviana, ko Quemel ki te kai, engari i wehe i te kāinga i te 11:30 pm! Ohorere pai māua ko Aroha kia kai tina i te 1:00 am! Engari te pai hoki – he parilla (mīti kau, poaka, heihei tunutunu), he mango sour, he waina whero. Engari te pai o te waina. Kāore ō māua hoa i te whakapono mai ki te wā e kati ai ngā kīhini wharekai i Aotearoa.

Me tūpato rawa māua kei mōmona rawa!
