We had such a great day today. We anchored off a small village and this morning took the dinghy in to explore. The town has no roads or running water. There were fillet's of fish hanging outside of peoples homes drying. We got invited into a locals home for cake and coffee. It is tradition that on your birthday to put on a feast for the town. Over the day majority of the residents came to eat and giving gifts. It was great. Inside was the cake, cookies and coffee.... and shots of whiskey. Outside was a table full of dried fish, strange plant (like celery), shrimp/ prawns and what looked like raw whale meat. We tried some of the dried fish, will skip that next village. The kids got lollie pops and played with some kids. The town was amazing and I have so much respect for the people who can live in such diversity. We picked up some UHT milk and fresh bread from the store. And headed home. I did pick something up in the water on the way home and worked on it for hours. I won't say what it is, just real exciting!
