Feast on Pentecost Island


Entertainment by local string band



Safely made it to Wali, Pentecost for some land diving for the teen girls!! Very excited, quite a cultural experience!! Courage is working on a foot infection after being stung by a sting ray last week, so Cassidy drove us here, hit some big waves, sailed most of the way, and got in between 1-2 am. After this, we slow down a bit again, just had to make it to the last jump of the season!! It is one of those once in a lifetime (if you're lucky) experiences, so I'm glad we made it happen! 

Slaughtered a local cow, cooking for a feast.


Traditional kava root - they make a drink of it



We've seen the cow slaughter this morning, butchering it in the trees, now it's finally cooked for dinner.  The girls are in line with the local plates they just picked in the forest ready to try fire cooked dinner.

The kids have such a hard time blending in . . .

Big party after last land diving of the season!
