Bargaining with the Locals// Finally found some monkeys

I'm so glad Katherine Inch is here to take and post pictures for us! We just had, as she said, two days near Subic Bay, Olongopo, where Terra worked with YWAM. It is the ocean, beautiful, warm, clear water! Andy and I, as you see, walked down the beach, not very far, but were gone for hours. We sat on the beach and up came an outrigger with a family of fishermen onboard. They jumped out and started pulling in a rope. Andy offered to help not realizing that there were at least 6 ropes to be pulled in....barefeet on the hot sand! He stayed with it and finally the net came in with really very few small silver fish in it. But he had good interaction with the people. A great cultural experience! When it was time for the actual net to come in most people jumped into the water to help....including ME!!!!.. When we got back our hosts were out looking for us fearing we'd been kidnapped!
YES the shave was tremendously painful. I thought it was a hot towel, shaving cream shave. Poor Andy...but it was a great shave! Will he do it again?????
