Spent the morning with Mark, another one of the volunteers, just getting to know each other better. We love hearing his Native perspective and learning from him. At lunch time we headed back down to our host's place for a birthday celebration for one of the Moluccan volunteers. I don't think I have ever heard so many renditions of Happy Birthday: Indonesian, Dutch, Hebrew, Puyallup, Swedish, and several other American versions thrown in for fun.
When we walked home the streets were completely empty...so different than other days. Here everything shuts down for Shabbat. Usually the streets are bustling with activity.
