Pasifika Festival

I'm excited, so is Monty, we're going on our annual pilgrimage to the Pasifika Festival today. The Festival starts at 10 am tomorrow, at Western Springs in Auckland. We love it! For those of you who don't know about Pasifika, it is a wonderful festival of Pacific Island Art, Craft, Music and Food held once a year in Auckland, around the shores of Western Springs Lake.

Each Pacific Island nation ( Niue, Cook Islands, Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Kiribati, etc) has an area where they can show off their wares and their culture, and there are several stages set up where all sorts of acts are showcased. And it is FREE!

Although I'm Pakeha, I'm a Pacific Islander at heart, and I'm at my happiest on a nice, hot, tropical Pacific Island. I love the people, I love the heat, I love the drums, I love the dancing, I love the food.

So I'm gonna have a good time, and maybe I'll find some goodies to put in www.shopenzed.com

All the best
Lesley
