Yesterday, I took one more shot at fishing in the lagoon. I was tearing them up until I lost my last "Crazy Charley" fly. Then the fun was over. Here is what I have caught the most of. It is a lot like reeling in a snake.
While she was waiting for me to return the motor scooter, Bubby took this picture of the beach just outside our main gate. Not bad. We sure hated to leave the water last night.
We had dinner (a BBQ) and FHE last evening with the Ezekielas and Mama Tuakana and family. It was a great time. Sam's family is gown, he is down to just three at home. They are very nice, well behaved kids. We had quite a variety of food items including BBQ chicken, tuna, and sausages. We also had chips, salad, mashed potatoes, and more. Ice cold watermelon for dessert. The highlight was when we played "Old Jed Died" (some things never grow old). We had to suspend play when we got to "mouth awry" because Mama Tuakana was laughing so hard as she tried to pass that along that she was in danger of ejecting her false teeth. We all got a chuckle out of that.
The Cook Island teens just like so many others, have been badly bitten by the telecommunications bug. They spent all of the unstructured time with their cell phones, listing and sharing music, texting each other, and talking to friends. I had to smile and the challenges. Sam says the family plan is killing him. This photo is Sam's youngest daughter (can't remember her name) and Grandma Tuakana's granddaughter, Tuakana. Cute kids.
When we got back to our room, we began packing. Bubby noticed this pele on the wall in our bathroom. It was the first we had seen since arriving, and of course not only do these little house lizards keep the mosquitoes down, they are supposed to bring good luck. This guy was really tiny and we had to have his photo. Do you think he is smiling back at us?
