I am happy to say that there was only one day when we had to turn people away, and that was at Langa Tabiki, when we had a canoe to catch. We had free time in the late afternoons and evenings, and we did a few fun things. One day, all four of us, led by Eric, took a hike into the rain forest. My overwhelming impression was that everything was hot, green, and wet. It was very hard walking, even along the path.
Ndyuka hunters like to use gun traps.
They are supposed to mark where they have set a trap, but what is a marking to a Ndyuka might not be at all obvious to an American. Steve and Dave enjoy fishing, and would spend much of their free time fishing with Eric. Eric took them to one of his favorite spots- a small tributary stream, with overhanging branches, underwater logs, and black, still water. They had been fishing for a while when Dave accidently dropped six or eight cheap lures over the side of the canoe. Which wasn't a big deal, except that Dave had his heart set on giving his fishing pole and lures to Eric as a gift when we left, and he wasn't willing to give up those dropped lures so easily.
