After an amazing, eye-popping, soul-satisfying week and a half on the South Island of New Zealand, we are back in the hip and quite caffeinated town of Wellington for a couple of days before closing the book on this tour to Australasia. Truly, it is hard to imagine (ouch..I just tried) all that we've done in the space of six weeks (seven for Monique). Traveling, building, rehearsing, teaching, performing.....performing, performing, performing, and finally traveling (for fun) again.
The last week has been quite a bit of bliss for the simple trio; together with our mighty white steed (a Toyota Corolla named Daisy), we finished our circumnavigation of the island with a trip up the jaw-droppingly lush West Coast (a temperate rain forest on steroids) and a surreal day of kayaking with NZ Fur Seal pups in the Abel Tasman National Park.
We have one full day left to repack our unimaginably heavy luggage, meet with the folks at the Wellington Fringe Festival, and visit with our fantastic hosts Quentin and Marion.
Then.....two days after we get back we head off to Walla Walla, Washington (one of the great town names in the world) where we teach a symposium for our dear simpleton Burke Walker. A couple weeks after that we hop on a plane and once again put on the touring gear for the Orlando Fringe Festival and 52 Pick Up.
Thanks to all our blog readers, and to Monique and Llysa for putting up with me and my ramblings.
See you in the Northern Hemisphere.
