Introducing icky-sticky-smelly kon!
"Kon" is pounded and fermented breadfruit. It is a Chuukese staple. They eat it with everything, its like their rice.
ok true story. I asked if anyone needed a fork. This sis turned around and proudly wiggled her yellow gooey sticky fingers and said, "this is my fork."

Our goodbye song

and lyrics

And of course we had to end the party with a bang. While Herm was all emotional from the song... Marcus WHAMS her with chocolate cake.

"I thought you said you like pie!"
"Yeah but not in my face!"

'Nating' to be afraid of.

Nating runs after Herm with a tissue... But Herm scream cause all she sees is Nating running towards her. Hilarious.

Thx for the laughs! We miss you. See you soon.
