Tuesday ?? Was it?

This week has been just a blur but it is coming to an end and it will be sad to say goodby once again to our host families and our hosts for each day.
Tuesday:
We visited a high school technology campus - interesting, all the high schools in the area send their students to the tech campus for the vocational subjects like chef training, automotive etc.
Then Rotary lunch
Then we visited an elementary school and each went to a separate classroom and read a kiwi book to the kids. It was heaps of fun, most of the children are hispanic in this area and they loved that the Maori vowels are the same as spanish. they sang me the vowel song so i had to sing a waiata in return - solo! Very cool kids!





Then a tour of the local theatre that has been restored
Then we all headed off to the Methodist Church to feed the hungry. The team cooked rice and measured out drinks and served the crowd. They all loved the funny way we talked.
Then after changing in the loos and the van we headed off to the Yacht club to have dinner with the mayor, and finally home to bed
