Last night we had a special visit to the village of Tamusua. A yaqona ceremony, a guided walk around the village and a Fiji village style 'feast' prepared and cooked by the village women. The villagers shared stories about their culture and their home. Picture below - Kava ceremony at the local Village. Yes, I know it looks (& tastes) like muddy water! It is from the Kava root.
'The roots of the kava plant are used to produce a drink with sedative and anesthetic properties. Kava is consumed throughout the Pacific Ocean cultures of Polynesia, including Hawaii, Vanuatu, Melanesia and some parts of Micronesia. Kava is sedating and is primarily consumed to relax without disrupting mental clarity. Its active ingredients are called kavalactones.' - Wikipedia
It's 80 degrees with now in Tamusua with clouds and sun. Totally great!
