Today we visited the the island of Eneko which is a half hour boat ride from where we are staying. The boat ride was relaxing and wonderful. Our captain was Enakai. He grew up on these waters. The island was beautiful with turquoise water and a sandy beach. There is no food on the island just a few grills and picnic tables. I had packed a picnic lunch with sandwiches and chips for us. I didn't need to because a Marshallese family near us brought us plates full of food, pop, and water. They said we needed to eat like the Marshallese do! We enjoyed chicken, ham, hot dogs, potato salad, and rice. I couldn't even eat it all! Another family was roasting a pig. They said it takes 4 hours to cook. The island was very peaceful. We had a wonderful day. Our lawyer surprised us and bought the boat tickets for us. We are overwhelmed by the kindness and generosity here. Women can wear shorts and tank tops on this island. Great day! We are still waiting for Kyra's visa to be processed and then we can come home.
