Destination Sumba Part 2
This was our hut at night.
We went to a market which was really cool, we bought Betel Nut and other local necessities.
That's me with the groms at the market, they were so stoked to see themselves in pictures, a rare treat!
The Village, how many of the Sumbanese have lived for hundreds of years.
Entrance.
The kids in the village were super cool. The homes are built raised up on stilts so that all the animals can be stored underneath.
Dry goods, and smoked foods are hung up in the high peaks of the homes. Here is some sort of grain drying in the hot hot hot sun. The only place I have been that was hotter and drier than a Sumbanese village at high noon, was the middle of the Sahara Desert in Egypt, but that's it.
Yet another North American Tee shirt making it's way across the world.
Graves.
Mom and Daughter.
We went and surfed the right which was down the coast a bit and it wasn't great conditions, but fun to go right in the land of lefts.
It was a beautiful set up that on its day would be amazing. The set up reminds me of some of the right handers in Baja.
Funny shot on a little thick one. I tried to pull into a scrappy barrel and paid the price with a reef visit.Labels: market, Nihiwatu, Sumba, Sumba Foundation, surfing, village
