Some Place Else - May 3 2009






Hi All

Sometimes you go to places and when you get there you could be anywhere in the world.
We had that experience on a little while ago and it was an unforgettable day.
We decided to visit a little place called Ant Atoll a 45 min trip in the boat out past the reef that surrounds Pohnpei.
We took some friends with us Jeff, Elizabeth and their two girls Devon and Tess.
It was a beautiful crystal clear day and on the way into the lagoon of the atoll we saw dolphins frolicking right up near the boat. The kids were all excited and soon after we anchored near a reef and went snorkelling. We saw lots of fish and rays.
After 30 mins int he water Beru (boat driver) took us to one of the islands. We set up camp for the day and hit the water some more. The place is all that you picture when you think of tropical Islands. It is heaven. We didnt see anyone else for the whole day....a tropical paradise unto ourselves.

Whilst the adults and some kids lazed around in the crystal clear waters Jonah went fishing with Beru with the goal of catching his first fish. .......................And he did.
Zara also joined in on the action and caught her first fish as well.
Beru taught them how to catch bait (hermit crabs) smash the shell and then place it on the hook. They now know how to cast as well. He is so patient with them.

Later in the day Beru cooked the fish on an open fire using leaves to sit them on. It was beautiful. Survivor Micronesia eat your heart out.

Enjoy All the Photos
