Christmas 2012

The very beginning of the day, approx 6am

Preparing bananas to be roasted in the fire or fried

Mother and daughter preparing 10kilos of chicken wings

Hanging out and cooking chicken

More chicken, as well as cassava and bananas

The matriarchs of the family hanging out together

Such fun with such good friends
One of our team mates came to get breadfruit for their Christmas party

'Be careful up there Andy'

Halle was exhausted after such a huge day


Village Life 2

Local food - fresh octupus

Only 2 of these cats are ours, but for some reason the neighbours cats take refuge in our backyard too






My good friend - Zali

Playing with henna

The final product



One of 'our' little girls.  She has just learnt to walk and is learning to talk and is a perfect imitator - very cute.

Every day Becca or I sweep the leaves from the front of our house.  To sweep is a big cultural expectation.

Toi loves to play :-)

Halle loves food!!!  This is a piece of breadfruit, roasted in a campfire.  Yum-yum

Breadfruit nearly finished roasting.

A friend from another island and the sister of Zali

Just some chooks.
