Update from Joseph


Update from Joseph -

The taxis are old cars and trucks. It's like driving on a bad two lane West Virginia road with no laws. The drivers swerve into the opposing lane even if traffic is coming.

They rode in large dugout canoes to get to the island. The canoes are around 40" wide. Joseph went out on a smaller canoe with another teenager. The water is crystal clear and beautiful. He went snorkeling and fishing; he caught a red snapper. He also got sunburned. Playing baseball with the local kids is very different; its played with a ball and stick.

When they visit the Indians, theywill be handing out 50-80 small boxes to the children.

The weather is like a very humid summer day in Tennessee. It has rained two times. Bananas are very different tasting; the peels fall off. The mangoes and papaya are also very good. A local lady has baked them two coconut cakes.

They will be flying home on Friday.
