A few weeks ago, we had dinner with another one of Kamakana's contacts, Aunty Margie & her family. They had just moved to Hamilton, and we were her first house guests (other than family)! They lived out in the country part of the city in a nice small house with beautiful Maori decor. For dinner, we had ... seafood! Crawfish, seafood chowder, and a really nice NZ seafood dish that I can't remember the name of! :( Maybe it'll come to me later. But anyway, we all had a great time- Logan, Kamakana, Leo, Kara, and myself traded out a Friday dinner at the halls for a homecooked seafood dinner. Yum! Another family came over for dinner also- Paul, Tania and their two sons. Tania was originally from Hawaii and lived in Kuli'ou'ou... she "married Maori", which is a VERY popular story here in New Zealand. Our dinner conversation eventually got to talking about Hawaiians, colonization, sovereignty, etc. etc. and we all had our opintions. It was... interesting ;)
All in all, the night was awesome. Great food and great company. Tama (Aunty Margie's son) and Logan are pretty good friends now, which is really nice! I wish I had pictures of the food, but it was GONE before I could even get my camera out :)
