We are staying two days high up in the mountainous interior of Papua New Guinea. Our lodge consists of a set of huts on a hillside that affords spectacular views of a beautiful countryside.
We are in the village of the Huli people, an indigenous people to New Guinea who were only "discovered" by the world about 80 years ago. We met with an extended family and learned how they live, hunt, make clothing and occasionally make war on neighboring clans. Amazing experience.
The women weave beautiful sacks that they use to carry everything from the baby to the day's food. Debb bought one and was shown how to tie it so that it hangs from the top of her head.
