G'day gals and guys! Hope everyone is well! Im back in Villa for a few days - came to attend the wedding of one of the Australian Volunteers. I love weddings and this was an ace mix of Vanuatu custom and Traditional western wedding stuff. Very cool, with lots of dancing. Ill be heading back to the island monday to celebrate my birthday with my island family, My Mama is making 'punia' which is root-vegetables from the garden, covered in coconut milk and wrapped in banana leaves, roasted in hot stones. YUM! Its fantastic celebration food and I cant wait :) You just open up the package and lay it out on a mat on the ground, and everyone sits in a circle around the package and tucks in! Interactive, communal food. Fantastic!
