A Good Catch
We had another day with a good catch of fish this week! I always know when these days hit because I am awakened at 5am with kids yelling and laughing, women chattering, men yelling commands at each other and oversized trucks trying to fit in our small Pandan "roads." I love it! I grab my coffee and head down to the waiting shed to participate in the excitement!
 |
| The wives dehead and clean the fish (called "tamban") |
 |
| Cleaning out the net for the catch.. notice all the fish on the sand below! |
 |
| I didn't realize they were about to shake the net.. i got sprayed with fish juice and i screamed :) gave the whole town a good laugh! These guys are completely covered in scales and other grossness when they are done |
 |
| Everyone helps with the collecting of the fish! |

 |
| A pig in the kitchen.. actually right next to the stove |
 |
| tons of naked brown kids making sand balls as entertainment |
 |
| never been more proud of a perfect sand ball :) who needs snowmen?! |
 |
| One guitar for 25 boys singing super off key at the top of their lungs "Feliz na-bo-dai" at our Saturday night bonfire. i love when they don't know the english but think they do :) i guess that's not english, but you get what i mean :) |
 |
| Using a machete to handle the fire :) |
 |
| 15 kids in one bamboo living room playing with toys.. none of their parents know where they are.. but that just isn't a question around here |
 |
| When you find a snail the size of your hand, why not let it crawl on your foot? |
 |
| Look mom, no hands!! |
 |
| Who doesn't enjoy a nice hard boiled egg on the floor of a bamboo hut right in front of the fan to cool down because it is cultural to wear jean in the tropic weather ;) |
 |
| I made my first ever mango float to enjoy with this Dagoldol family! :) They are the ones teaching me visaya! |
