Prebirthday dinner for daddy...

This is the yummy smoothie that George made. Ingredients include: passion fruit, strawberry, and banana.

One of my fave ingredients: coconut milk and ginger.

Some more PNG Independence Day Celebration

Inside the gym area that Dr Hood allowed us to use.

Some very special girls (Martha and Regina Pande) with their grandpa.

Putting the heated rocks on top of foil to heat the food underneath...nothing like PNG style:)

The kids had to bring their rollerblades...I am going to have to invest in some considering I lost my other ones.

Some of the wantoks that came to the Bung...more came later...we had about 50 or more in attendance.

George sharing his stories about the history of the men who fought for PNG's Independence.

All the wantoks working together to make a mumu...yummy!

This pic should have been first as it happened first...digging the pit to put the mumu in the ground.

Even though PNG's Independence is not till September 16, we celebrated this past weekend and had a wonderful time of fellowship. Here are some pics of the events.
