This is a record of my first trip to the island, as well as a way to communicate with my family and friends back home. https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/ Fri, 3 Apr 2026 19:14:47 GMT World Nomads Adventures https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4622/Worldwide/My-Pics Travel Worldwide jdensmore https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4622/Worldwide/My-Pics#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4622/Worldwide/My-Pics Thu, 2 Aug 2007 03:22:00 GMT 0 <p>Greetings from Easter Island. Some of you have been bugging me daily for pics, so Ive finally had a chance to upload some, only a fraction of what Ive taken! Today we were invited to go to a local &quot;cow roast&quot; called an &quot;umu&quot; it was also like a wake because a relative died last week. Al the friends and relatives came ,here they cooked in a large pit in the ground, then covered this with hot stones, and banana leaves, and then earth. Many neighbors came bringing food and wine. There was singing, dancing, vino...it was great fun. I danced with a nice local man,Patrick, who wouldnt let me quit! It was great fun. I am certainly enjying myself, I love it here...but I also miss everyone back home. </p><p>I will try to write more soon, love you all</p><p>Julie</p> https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/story/7360/Worldwide/Iorana Travel Worldwide jdensmore https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/story/7360/Worldwide/Iorana#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/story/7360/Worldwide/Iorana Sun, 22 Jul 2007 07:31:00 GMT 0 https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4423/USA/Easter-Island-week-1 Travel USA jdensmore https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4423/USA/Easter-Island-week-1#comments https://journals.worldnomads.com/jdensmore/photos/4423/USA/Easter-Island-week-1 Sun, 22 Jul 2007 03:41:00 GMT 0
