Picnic local style

Picnic out at a local park with our office staff.  The local staff beautifully laid out carpets and cushions to sit on, prepared a great meal of palau, and then these local musicians provided the music.  The young boy is playing a hand drum, the man next to him is actually playing a serving tray! :-), and then two stringed instruments that they play here.



 Alia treasures any chance she can get to be with her daddy.


Anna loved the new environment to explore!


When the musicians began to play, people began suggesting to each other that somebody needed to dance.  Nobody wanted to be the first though, so finally fearless Jason got up and started dancing local style and very quickly other men followed suit.  (Only the men dance in mixed company as it is inappropriate here for women to dance in front of men.)  Almost everyone took a turn and it is fun to see the fun side of people come out as some of those you would never guess were great dancers, especially on older man who works at the office.
