| Overlooking a tea plantation, we are having lunch at Serenity Village, a favorite stop of ours in the rain forest. There are 15 family members gathering to eat here. |
 |
| This is a traditional breakfast meal with rice, dahl (lentils), yams, an omelette, and a spicy topping (coconut shavings and chili peppers). Although there are serving utensils, we eat with our fingers (from the first knuckle and up); otherwise, it is considered impolite. Custom dictates that we wash our hands before and after meals. The boys love eating with their fingers!! |

| Here we are at Serenity Village. We came here for the day to eat lunch with family and swim. Unfortunately, it has been very rainy here for the past few days. Usually, the rainy weather is in the Spring. We plan to come back for an overnight when the sun comes back. |
Sup Mrs. Poole,

ReplyDeleteHow is your trip? Im in the car making my way to Arch Cape.
ReplyDeleteI just passed over the columbian river, named after a ship
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome Meghan!! Are you enjoying your vacation? Have you sent me any postcards yet? Our trip has been amazing so far, but I've eaten way too much! We've been surprised how much rain there has been, especially since the rainy season isn't until the Spring.
DeleteI was going to ask you what to put on the postcard actually, I forgot and I have a postcard from Manzanita right in front of me!
ReplyDeleteSay something about where you visited and your impressions of it. Then address the postcard to Brier Elementary, next line Ms. Poole, and the last line the school address. Looking forward to receiving it!
