Tawali Resort Alotau

... trip. The main draw to the island was some snorkeling and a coconut tree with "branches." I was curious about this tree because I had seen a multi-headed coconut tree in Tonga and was told it was the only one in the world. When I got to the island I was greeted by Pastor Joe. He was happy to show me around the village and take me to the tree. Sure enough there it was, just like the one I saw in Tonga. So there are at least two in this world ...

... brilliant orange coral and schools of small fish so thick you couldn't see through them. We also got to swim with manta rays. Usually when they saw you in the water they would turn away but one swam right past me, I thought he might hit me he came so close! Another day we took a short boat ride across the bay to an area called Wagawaga. There was ...

... started back up this week. The interns went out after the girls had all gone home and did some shopping. When we got back I made some peanut butter cookies and we all played "Risk." It was so much fun! We had a meeting with Marcus about the trip to Trobriand Islands and what we should write in our report. Marcus and Diane wanted to go out on a "date" so we all cooked dinner for the girls, put them to bed and cleaned their house. After all that ...

... been having meetings and had a place to hold the camp, but not much else...except a few kids. Monday morning I went with Luke and Daniel to the North Coast to help pick up the group from California. We drove for about an hour and a half and saw some beautiful mountains and grass lands. PNG is divided down the middle by a mountain range. On one side of the mountain is grassland and on our side is forest. On our way out there we saw a beautiful rainbow that ...

... the idea of whichever church. They have witchdoctors that are used by members of the different religions because no one has ever told them anything different. In Alotau the people are not usually persecuted physically, but they are harassed verbally if they are baptized. Saying magic words is very big deal here and a very big part of the "witch" idea. After our meeting we went to the high-school to see if there were any kids that needed us to ...

... ne bomo sli in po sprasevanju same sebe o tem ali me spet caka zanimiv polet sem opazovala obraze okoli sebe in postajalo mi je vse bolj jasno, da to ne bo samo se ena izkusnja vec, ki jo clovek napise v svoj zivljenjepis. (sedaj uzivam v skodelici zelenega caja in drzim pesti za elektriko + razmisljam kako spodit musice iz ekrana J ).

... home in Cornwall. Then he invited us to have a few with him that evening, at the club. We met him as he was purchasing his 'rations' for the evening and we all went out to the 'cinema'. He never stopped nattering all through the Western and into the M.Cup film annoying the Aussies intensely! There ensued a can throwing war and eventually he got the idea that he should belt up!!! Very embarrassing for us lads! <br> The following evening it was ...
