It is a very good thing to have a granddog named after Ziggy Marley when you are in Vanuatu. Barry invited 3 niVans into the dinghy for a tour of Sunrise. 7 other young men paddled out with him so we had 10 visitors on Sunrise this afternoon. As usual, we showed them the album that Vince made of family and the collages that Simple and Katie made of the Morin side of the family. Then we moved to computer photos and there was Ziggy as a little puppy. This is our son's dog, Ziggy. Ziggy Marley?? Yes, Ziggy Marley. All 10 roared their approval. Does the dog live in the house? Does the cat live in the house. Affirmative met with amazement. Dogs are treated poorly here and we don't even know why they have dogs. Anyway, they brought island cabbage and pamplemousse and promised laplap and popos (pawpaw/papaya) for tomorrow. They wanted nothing in return but, when we offered rope, that sounded good. They asked about the musket on the wall. It is for spear fishing but we don't use it - we haven't used it in 10 years. This is the second time a visitor has asked about the "musket". We told them we loved Vanuatu and the Vanuatu people. They said, yes, niVanuatu are a very kindly people. And they are. And we are glad they know it and that we get to know them.
