My husband and I had a wonderful time learning about Polynesian culture as we spent a lovely day with Uru, doing a variety of activities. We learned about traditional net fishing and had an adventure canoeing in an outrigger canoe in the wind and choppy water. It gave me a lot of respect for those who used these methods for their daily living. We learned how to husk, open, and get the meat out of a coconut. We watched her make fresh coconut milk and prepare delicious poisson cru! We had a delicious traditional meal together in her home, tour of her garden, and it felt like we were longtime friends with her warm hospitality and easy conversation. Thanks so much for sharing your life and knowledge with us Uru! It was a day we won’t forget!
