Subject: Exodus – Coconut Macaroons

We are out at Kenutu again, because it’s one of our favorite spots. We joined 2 other kid boats when we arrived, and all the kids spent all afternoon on the beach husking and grating coconuts in order to make coconut macaroons over on Dafne. They all worked hard on it, but Alex and Brenden didn’t even mind that they didn’t really like the macaroons at all. We’ve taken my dad and Karen all around both islands (Kenutu and ‘Umumu) for some jungle trekking and spectacular views. Evenings are filled with dominoes, cards, and sometimes some heated political conversation. Of course, Tim and I have been out of it for so long we are at an information deficit. But I guess that could be a good thing.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
