We went to Mr. Horiuchi's for a little snack that was beautiful. He was very appreciative of our services and seems like a real lovable guy. A few other teachers showed up and most of the talk seemed to center on fishing.
Emosi claimed to have 20 pounds of steak and a reason to celebrate (promotion in Peace Corps) so we all went to Akoakoa Point for a barbeque. Another beautiful spot and I went collecting urchins and shells. While they had their steaks I had soup!
About 8:30PM it stormed in, so we got drenched. When we got back Jas wanted to have a cross-culture lesson so I organized a protest which included Sean playing guitar. When Jas started his talk, I said: "Ek, dui, teen"
and then we all began singing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" and kept it up until he looked like he would kill us, so we gave in. Emosi had gone out and bought booze and when he came back he rescued us and we partied. Dancing to Sean's tapes and
Ramon's pyschedelic lamp. Mike C came in late and proceded to hold the wall up for us since it was tilting. Jas got plastered (oh, really?) and claimed at one point that he was a white shark. We moved the mattresses out
to the big room and I fell asleep there - woke up around 3:30AM and the party was still going for a few. |
