Not sure what R0ndo's wild-eyed look is for: probably Eric is directing the digging and R0ndo's not exactly sure what Eric wants. My funny dog!
Was on holiday in the Dominican Republic and was away snapping some photos of the water when my girlfriend noticed this little guy digging in the sand. What a great oppertunity !

Here are Andrew, Courtney and Reg digging the hole in preparation for the hangi. The first pit was where we burned the pallets and railroad irons (to get them white hot) before transferring the irons into the second hole. This enabled us to save valuable time transferring the irons between holes. The veggies, meat, burlap and sheets doused in water were all put in the second hole after the irons.
Today we were digging a trench for the fence we're putting in for the Kingdom Hall. We worked from 9am-2pm. It was hot, the ground was incredibly hard, and we had faulty tools that kept breaking. We loved it.
First we put down a string and broke through with the tools, then we moved the string and did the same on the otherside. After that, we started removing the grass from on top. After the grass was off, we softened the soil by digging into it and breaking up the clumps. The dirt was mixed with clay and rocks, so a few of the tools broke and bent. It was actually extremely hard work in the incredibly hot sun. Good news, the clouds rolled in after we were all done. Figures. :]

The rail tunnel digging/building has ceased in time for the Easter tourism season and the inevitable entrance queues. Unfortunately, I can't make myself into a tripod in the middle of the re-opened road to get this from a nearer vantage point that won't also get me arrested for causing trouble, or perhaps more possible, isn't right underneath that facade. Look what happened when I tried that vantage point!
Photos of people eating are not usually flattering, yet here I am doing that pre-bite. Mainly it's to showcase that chef Michael Bonacini has better chopstick holding skills than I. (Hey, I can pick up my food but I don't hold my chopsticks in the traditional and proper way.)
This youngster was taking his turn digging a latrine. A barrio in Managua, Nicaragua. July 1984.

He actually found a live pipi (a mollusc). For once there was a reason for all that digging.
