Day 2 : August 20, 2013 - 10 Gallons of rain water

I had purple sweet potatoes and plantain for breakfast. Sitting and eating on deck, i could not believe I am actually here. It is so peaceful and quiet. We only have one neighbor Todd, who is solo on a beautiful 46 foot catamaran which he took 9 years to built. Todd generously gave us 10 gallons of rain water which he collected. We did not collect any and ran out of water. Roger re-position the canvas on deck so we can collect from now on. In the pm, we walked to the village to  top off credit for phone.

I rode scooter with a local girl, went to her house and bought two papayas for us. One of them was too high on the papaya tree that a little boy easily and happily climbed up to get the ripe one. I talked to the local in Malay if they would do a load of laundry for us since we ran out of water.

I took a pic of Andy watching a beautiful sunset. Dinner was sour kraut n potatoes.
