Today was our first full day with Ula. We had another late breakfast. After eating I went back to the room to pack my backpack because we were going to head to an island today. At 9:30 we got on the boat to go to the island. The boat rider there was long, but very nice. Borah was able to catch a tuna on the way to the island. The way that they killed it was very gory. They took a light aluminum bat and simply tapped the fish on the head 3 times, but there was a lot of blood. A little bit later we made it to the island. We visited a village there.

I asked her name; what she was cooking; has she lived in this village her whole life; etc. After talking to her for a bit, she allowed me to take her photo. It actually felt like I had made a connection with her. Soon after the it was time to get onto the boat, but before I did that I ran into the woods to use the restroom.

After I finished, I sprinted back to the boat to head to our second destination; which was a beach. It was awesome there. On the beach we had lunch, and there were many different activities. They included paddle boarding, volleyball, swimming, snorkeling, and many more. The
