This is a family selling coconuts on the other side of the island. Willie Kwansing is on the right. He was our driver, plus a great friend. He is in the Suva 1st ward. He has a lovely wife from Tonga and 7 children. His oldest daughter is a nanny in St. George, Utah. She works for one of his old missionary companions.

The man used a machete to open the coconut and then kind of a crowbar device to husk it so he could split it open. Then we all tasked the "milk". It is called boo. I can't say that I loved it, but at least I can say I tried. The coconut "meat" is very moist and "slimy". It also has a very interesting taste. Willie loves it. I'll let him have mine anytime!

The family selling coconuts. Most families subsist by living on what they grow, or catch in the ocean and then selling items on the side of the road. We bought all the coconuts they had for 20 fijian $ and they were thrilled!

Selling fish on the road. The trouble is, you have no idea how long they have been hanging there!

Beautiful Fiji
