This is Rocky! He hangs out at our house, but is certainly not an indoor dog. He finally knows us, and gets excited when we come home. Occasionally, he even waits for me at the corner, and walks me to the door. He used to bark at the new strangers in his yard, and not get near us. He still won't eat from our hands, and he doesn't let anyone pet him.
This is Mayliza and her niece. Eugene and Mayliza are our neighbors and landlords. They've been really nice to us. Then bring us food, they take us places, and they just always watch out for us. They show us how to prepare some local foods: different varieties of bananas in coconut milk, how to fillet a fish, what kind of fish is best for what, and the latest was a lesson on coconuts: when you can drink out of them, how to scrape the guts after you drink, when you can get milk out of them, and all the tools involved. Yum!

How do you know his name is Rocky? Did you just make that up? That's cool that your neighbors are teaching you what's up. Might as well learn the culture while you are there!
Is the island/town small enough so that everyone knows you? Or do people look at you funny? Also, do you wear long skirts all the time, or do you ever where shorts?
Andrew named him.
Small, we see a lot of the same people. They usually think a girl (especially a white one) on a bike looks funny. I wear skirts that cover my knees. Except when I'm biking/swimming. Then I wear a pair of long surfer shorts that go to my knees.
