We traveled along with Dave and Brita on Anam Cara to visit the Kuna Islands of Mamitupu, Aligandi, and Istupu. The kids stole our hearts. They took our hands and led us all around their village. Sang songs for us and we even brought them back to the boats. They loved that! We caught our anchor on the water line. That was embarrassing! but we got it loose without damage! And A great chief died and they were having the ceremony when we were there. I was invited to the congresso and even to the burial. I went alone in the kayak and gave a kid a ride back. Sang a Hank Williams Jr. song with the chief's son "I saw the light", Shook hands with all the other chiefs, several times, and watched helplessly while they carried out a woman who died of alcohol poisoning I'm sure.
