Mentawai Shamen came over to entertain last night with traditional tribal dance and ceremonial eating of live palm grubs. Didn't taste better second time around. The Mentawai people are so friendly and happy. I hope they can maintain their culture with so many travelers coming to their islands. Boys brought a really large sea snake over from adjacent island. It was dead, so they curled it in the beer cooler. Scared the hell out of Stuart when he reached in for a beer. Don't want to get bit by the live ones - fatally toxic venom.
