We're grilling what??


We had a new experience with grilling. As many of you know, Andy and I really DON'T like seafood! It is very popular here, for obvious reasons. Well, Wednesday we went to the seashore and took a little boat ride in the harbor. Afterwards, we grilled oysters. To most people, this is not a big deal. To us....well, a waste of charcoal. We tried to avoid eating them, but a very nice lady asked me (Kris) if I wanted to try one. So, I took a deep breath and bit in. It wasn't too bad when covered with a horseradish/soy type sauce. So, as not to be outdone, Andy decided to give it a try as well. He was successful in taking a bite without losing whatever was in his belly! "Now", as one of the pastors there said, "you are real missionaries"!

We decided not to try the roasted snails after hearing all the sucking necessary to get the things out of their shells!! As the children of some friends here say, "we only try one weird food a day."
