May 4 2012 in Ceremony Part 3 at Tongariki by emanaku
-
-
Early in the pre-dawn morning of the day after our ceremony, Solara and Emanáku returned to Tongariki.
-
-
We watched the sun rise and thanked the Moai for participating with us in the 'A Mu'a.
-
-
The Moai felt different than the day before.
-
-
They were whiter and lighter.
-
-
That afternoon, many of us, including Maru and Kalasara, gathered at the airport.

-
Omashar bonded with a large carved lizard at the airport.

Around 30 of us were on the same flight to Lima, Peru.
