A List:
- drank Koppe and read some scripture
- prayer walked on the beach
- shaved my beard off (too hot!)
- changed a flat tire
- ate a bunch of things I cannot explain for lunch (with no utensils)
- drank an avocado choclat drink
- drank Koppe with 4 Indonesian gentlemen (Joe left for about 20 minutes), I was left to explain why I wasn’t married… and then why I wasn’t going to marry an Indonesian girl from the island (any girl… it seems they all are available… no further comment). sidenote: I speak no Indonesian, and they spoke very little English.
- went to the fish market (smell was more than fishy…)
- played catch with a flat football for 30 minutes during a downpour
- chased some village kids through a rice patty
- pulled a fat leach of my foot (between my toes to be exact)
- killed said fat leach… with salt water
- snorkled for 1.5 hours… cool
- body surfed
- made flour tortillas… from scratch
- laughed with my new friends
- washed the dishes by hand
- emailed an American girl
- slept under a mesquito net
Tomorrow should be a great day, we are going to a neighboring village to work on a house, it seems some termites are invading the premises and we are going to use a mixture of some sort to paint the inside wood… don’t know exactly what that means. Yesterday I finished reading “jesus for president” by Shane Claiborne… wow. It is a really provacative book, especially relavant in the context of where I am right now… more on this when I get home.

so is there an over/under on the odds that Sam unwittingly comes back with an Indonesian wife?
Send us picture of your new fiance when you can.
I think I would totally love the avocado-chocolate drink! 2 of my favorite things all at once.
I would like an Indonesian baby…forgot to ask you to bring us one while you were there.
