Ari's Planet

After getting bogged down in Mt. Eden for a couple of months, it is time to move on to new places. I've rented a van from Wicked Campers ($19/day) for 10 days, starting Monday, to take me up to North Land. Up at Cape Reinga is a tree whose roots surround the entrance to the Maori underworld. I hope to see this place, which reminds me of Muroto Misaki in Japan, a place at the edge of a vast sea believed to be a gateway for the souls of the departed.
