A little more from our first day at the beach...

When Joerg and I came back from our swim out to the coral rocks we found that our friends on the beach were going to make lunch for us out of some fish that some guys on the beach had caught and from some taro root that grows around the beach.
At this point I figure you’ve gathered that most of our food still has eyes when we eat it. We tend to stay away from the heads but they really like them.








They do most of their fishing with nets. The log in the guys hand is for floating.
.
It was a great first afternoon. We were really able to enjoy some Papuan culture and practice our limited vocab. We both had a great time just sort of sinking into life here.

Hey Jen,

I am totally enjoying reading your blog. I copy everything over to a word document and then I take my time looking at the pictures etc. while at home. I am also praying for you. Looks like you are having an awesome experience. Elias and I miss you. Can´t wait to get to see you again! Enjoy every moment of your trip and don´t get discouraged if things get difficult. God knows what you can handle. LOVE YOU JEN!!!

So what is that thing that Joerg is holding? It looks like a curled horn from a Mountain Sheep...I'm sure that it isn't a horn but it sure looks like it could be.

Are you acquiring an appetite for fish yet?

Are you riced out?
