If any of you have not seen this Gina Davis classic, do yourselves a favor and put it right at the top of your little Netflix list...NOW!
Greetings from Pohnpei. Trieste and I had a great weekend with our new friend and fellow volunteer, Tyler, mweimweit and palapalap. That means hanging out and swimming. Our favorite place to go swimming is at the Awak Pah Marine park in Nett Municipality. It's about 15 minutes from Kolonia and costs a couple of dollars each in cab fare. Both Saturday and Sunday we were joined by other islanders and were fed well by the generous Pohnpeians. Tyler and I get along like clams. We both like to snorkel and ended up snorkeling for many hours on Saturday. And I saw a stingray which I have to say was very exciting. The Pohnpeian word for Stingray is Nohno which is the same word for mother. Pohnpeians are supposedly not afraid of sharks but deathly afraid of stingrays. What I noticed most about swimming with the locals was how afraid of the water they were. They never ventured out much farther than a few feet beyond the edge of the pier.
More on that later.
