Lets go back to the Trobriands
First three photos taken at in inland village.



Dominique says this about this particular visit: "They had been given fake flower necklaces by New Zealanders that had stopped by on a sailboat a couple of weeks back. They were so happy to wear them and they posed for us as well. We always bring goods for the chief to distribute as they have so little in the form of necessities. Tools, school supplies, medecine, toys and such are so welcomed."


"There was an Australian couple that lived in Port Moresby travelling in the island at same time as us. They had a little girl with blond hair that fascinated all the locals. Since they rarely see caucasian children if ever, they followed her around all over like she was a goddess. They were mesmerized.
