Great People -

The hurricane was pretty minimal here, and most buildings escaped unscathed.  The winds were primarily blowing out of the north, so we are heading up to a village on the north cost that had waves breaking right into the village.

Once again this is a totally different culture. After getting permission to land from the government, you go and see the local chief, and bring a small gift that you lay at his feet. He pretty much accepts whatever you give him and gives you his blessings to visit and explore his village. He also does not speak to us, but rather has a friend who he tells his answer to, and his friend tells us what he says.  He also does not make eye contact.

And the adventure continues.

Courage
