Right before our trip to Japan, we went to 2 beach parties. The first we hosted from some friends here. The second was for the junior officers on base, down at the Naval Base.
Here are the pictures from our beach party:
Here are our new neighbors, Mark and Samantha:
After we had BBQ’d and sat around for a while, we walked down the beach 200 yards to the beach bar next door. Every Friday night the offer a free fire show. It’s a mix of Polynesian and Micronesian dancing. Some of the dancers are quite young, but all are talented. 🙂
The guys have a stick with flames on both ends. The girls dance typical hula part of the time and (as you can see here) with flaming balls attached to a wire. When they spin, it’s a sight to behold.

Another friend, Q, and I:
The next morning (also the day we left for Japan), we went to the second party. The beach is down south at the Navy Base. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t cooperate, but it was still a fun time with friends.

After this, we came home, cleaned up and went off to the airport for the next big adventure….
