Dinner and dancing

Last night we attended a lovo feast. It is a traditional style of cooking where the food is buried and cooked under the ground. Everything we ate was fantastic, and our tour director Dan was very informative.

I didn't immediately understand why our seats were facing away from the beautiful beach, but Dan said we had the best seats in the house. It turns out, that there is a singing and dancing portion of this kind of meal, as well.

Apparently, our entertainers were young people from a nearby village who practice singing and dancing. Dan said that there are two things that Fijians are good at naturally; those things are rugby and singing.

The place where everyone was performing was not very well lit, so I apologize for the darkness of this photo. Still, it's interesting.

 

The meal was very good, and Cas and I were invited up to dance a little at the end. We both hesitated, because neither of us prides ourselves in our ability as dancers, but it was an easy shuffle forward and backward. Got it.

We have a trip to a traditional for Fijian Village today. Will get back to the hotel at about one pm, leaving just enough time to get ready. We have plans this evening. Kind of big ones.
