not a sign one sees every day



"Historical church" has become a bit of a touchstone this trip.  On the East Cape, especially, we were prone to pulling over whenever we saw that sign.  Because you need to be invited to visit a marae (Maori meeting house) -- and we haven't been yet -- visiting old Anglican churches with Maori influence in the decoration has been one way to connect with that culture, or at least some of its history.



Several churches we saw in last few days have a strong Maori influence in their design -- just a few samples above.
