A group of talented locals

Yesterday our little town of Kohukohu was buzzing with activity.
In "Village Arts" - the local art gallery, we attended a ceremony blessing the end of the Ralph Hotere exhibition.
In the Waterline Cafe' the local talented musicians organized a fund raising benefit to help tsunami victims.
Attending one of these events, I am always reminded what a group of talented and eccentric people live in our village.
So many of the locals sing so beautifully and have such a knack for preforming.
Bruce walker is a fabulous musician and he also organizes a lot of the local events.
A lady preformed belly dancing dressed in a colorful costume, people sang, told jocks and stories and read poetry.
It is always sad to say good bye when the time comes to go back to the USA.

We were all a bit disappointed that we didn’t get to hike the scenic route along the southeastern coast, but it was clear now that this typhoon was a massive one. News reports described it as a once in 30 years stor...
