11:00am shall be the kick-off time by boat to somewhere, then jeep to somewhere else, and encounter with smart orangutans in some all-natural jungle setting. we are bringing some bananas. we hope they like bananas. erita prefers to stay and snorkel (they have some fish the size of bathtubs), and jack is just being jack. jack is a popular toddler with the locals and visitors. he unmistakably mumbled his first full sentence last night at dinner, dramatically progressing from a few 2/3-syllables words (hello, goodbye, bus, car, mama, dada, auntie, uncle, asta - meaning cheese that goes w/ pasta, oops and oh oh - meaning too bad, fix it, etc) and the very important message was, "i wan to eet". his chinese language ability is limited to 2 nouns (light, car, grandpa, grandma, uncle). he is double-portion eating and pooing, and keeping grandma and nanny , his two roommates, very busy. jack is making friends, is serious chick-bait, and naturally gravitates to all the cute ones. here he is, pic taken before we left home, trying on his cool-dude shades. and he loves machines of all sorts, especially cars of the two-doors variety and particularly the roofless sort, preferring silver to red. he shall be trouble.

last day on this island, spent the day reading after swimming. am looking forward to home island tomorrow, and to re-engage w/ no-holds barred unreal tournament last money standing death match busy-ness had sent erita to marine ecology apprenticeship today where she learned to test the water quality, prepare foods for giant clams and fish, clean the clams, and care for the corals. jack, nearly 20-months young, is making rapid progress as well. he said his second whole sentence during this trip (the first being, "i wan to eet"), "i want to poo". all important. we need to watch him whenever he is awake because he seems very good at testing for weaknesses in what appears solid and checking for loopholes amongst what seems regular good to have big head ... hah hah ... there is no way out, over, or around ... eh ... yikes, score 1:0, in 3 seconds flat, found way out; back to the drawing board ...
