Day 4 - A day for both the Ladies and the Men...

The day turned our great for both sides of the family... We started out the day together eating breakfast at Wild Bills, a Haulie bar with great food. The breakfast is the closest we can get to good old' idaho breakfast, and we still dont have to make it. We heard this was Butch Smiths favorite place to grab a bite, so we snapped a shot for you =)

After breakfast we hit up the local farmers market, where both John and Betty were able to see some of the local fruits and veggies, some you will never see back in the states...

Here is Mark buying some tangarines, tha stay green when they are ripe..
Our next stop was Mt. Topachau, the highest point on the island... this point allows your to see as far as your eye can see north, south, east or west... It really puts into perspective how small the island really is, and that you truely are surrounded by water...

John and Betty with Garapan in the background.. the islands main shopping center.
After hitting up the mountain, Betty and I dropped Mark and John off at the pier where they met others and were able to go out into the ocean and take a tour of the Lumus, a navy ship that is usually sitting a few miles off the island. There are three of these ships and each one is full of supplies incase the US were to go to war with Korea... a little scary, but either way, Mark and John both enjoyed their tour....


While Mark and John were off learning about military supplies and ships, Betty and I headed to Garapan where we indulged in what all woman love, a pedicure.... So good. An hour and a half pedicure for $20... cant get much better then that!


After we met up with the boys we all headed to the north end of the island to FEBC (Far East Broad Casting) where we were given a tour by two good friends of Marks and I. Irene & Owen Gabbie. FEBC is a christian broadcasing station that broadcasts christain radio all over Russi and Asia! A great Ministry. They are always looking for extra hands if anyone is interested in taking a month or two and helping out, or you could apply for a job and move here =) Thanks Irene and Owen for the tour!


Well to finish off the day, we took John and Betty to the Thai House, our favorite place to eat on island. However, John and betty didnt care for it, or atleast their tummys didnt. =). Well atleast they got to see where we like to spend our $$$.

Day 5 next....

Hey guys, "haulie" should spelled as "haole". Here's a definition I found online.

Haole, (pronounced: How-leh) in the Hawaiian language, means "foreign" or "foreigner"; it can be used in reference to people, plants, and animals. ...

You really are a bunch of haoles. Hahahaha!
