Farewell and Birthday Party

Friend Avira, pictured on the right, invited us to the farewell party of her relatives returning home after a holiday.

Lots of food, traditional dance and singing.

Below, cutting the cake to celebrate the birthdays of Avira's husband and sister in law. Everyone presented with garlands. A perfect balmy evening with the sea just a short distance away from where the food is lined up ready for when the speeches have finished.

Pete is getting quite a following for his Kiribati dress style so here is one for his fans. Another pose with the famous woven bible bag and the garland look that is becoming so popular!!!
