"Awa Ara" can be translated loosely to "Road of the River" in Maori. We all choose a path to travel in life; I have chosen one dominated largely by rivers. This is my story.

The Mud Divide

The Main Divide is a wine, food, and music festival held at the Pegasus Bay Vineyard just north of Christchurch. About 15 of went up for it two weekends ago....and it was one of the most fun days I've ever had!

It had rained the night before, and continued to drizzle on and off all day. This definitely deterred some people from coming, but for those of us who went it just made it so much more fun. Two words: mud surfing. It starts like this:
And ends like this:Basically its the most effective way i know to trash a skirt and get as muddy as possible in a very short period of time...but we loved it!

The wine was wonderful (some of us liked it a little too much and had to head home early unfortunately), the food was good, but the music was INCREDIBLE. About 10 different artists played, all different, and all very good. The day started off with very mellow music and gradually increased in energy until the last two artists who played very upbeat electro/techno dance. I don't think I've ever had so much fun dancing!
