Meet our new pets, Johnny Cash and June Carter. They've still got a little growing up to do, but hopefully we'll have fresh eggs soon. And, unbeknownst to Johhny, we will also be eating well this Thanksgiving : )
Ever wonder where cocoa comes from? This is it! The cocoa bean is covered by a white goo that tastes pretty delicious. Then you can dry the bean and make your own cocoa...how cool is that!?

Yes, this is a 2-headed fish. Be amazed.

Recently went to the north part of the island to visit some friends and check out the volcano. We went hiking and and came across two big waterfalls. This one was my favorite because you could crawl behind it and jump through...very cool!

This was our kitchen sink last month. The faucet fell off and water was bursting out at full force - flooded the kitchen. Thankfully, our friends from one of the villages had recently given us some cassava to grow. I used the root to plug the hole and we washed dishes in the backyard for a few days until we could get it fixed. Our bathroon also recently got a little makeover as there was no piping under the toilet so everytime you flushed everything in the toilet just leaked out onto the floor. It was a very stinky situation :) but after a little work and lots of bleach all is well again! Our team hopped on boat and spent the day on a tiny, secluded island about a 10 minute boat ride away. It was absolutely beautiful and I got to go snorkeling for the first time! I was really wishing I had an underwater camera because I saw a ton of crazy awesome fish, including just about every Finding Nemo character! :)

Another shot from our trip to the island.

Chillin' with the monkeys. Bring a few peanuts and you will instantly make friends with these little creatures. Honestly, being surrounded by a giant mob of these guys was a little intimidating, but I came out alive and it was a pretty cool experience.
