Grace: Today is Papua NewGuinea's national
Independence Day. Earlier we went to the school on the other side of the island
to see the children performing the traditional dances. The girls were wearing
short grass skirts with a reath of pink frangipanyis on their heads with strings
of more frangipanis that criss crossed over thier bodies. The boys were wearing
what looked like grass underpants (which looked like a permanent wedgie!) with
wreaths of yellow frangipanie on thier heads. We are about to go ashore to have
a barbique with the locals. Dad just came back from a boat called Outsider
'cause he was helping to butcher the pig that they bought. Anyhow I'll type more
after we get back to the boat..
