Okay, so... this is the story of
my very first trip to Woleai!! Okay... so this day started off just like any
other ordinary day in Eauripik. While I was eating my breakfast (iig me
peras) Tino came over and asked me if I still wanted to go to Woleai. So I
told him that I still wanted to go, and then he walked away and I kept on
eating like nothing new happened. Then a few minutes later Tino was back and
he told me that he would talk to Serphen over the radio and find out about
the weather and we would probably leave for Woleai soon after that... um..
whoa-- talk about short notice. So he told me to get my stuff ready to
leave. Yep... cool... so I got my stuff ready... they guys got the boat
prepared and some women made some food for us to take with us! About an hour
later we were in the boat and ready to go!
Those of us in the boat were Tino, Winno, Mino, Manuel, Diana, Manuela and I. Ali was also in there but he was just going to get us out of the lagoon a little and then go back to his place. So we were going away and most of the people of Eauripik were over on the beach at Metetewas or just on the east side to watch us go and some were singing. |
