Digging Sweet Potatoes

Vanessa and Madeleine joined the Camp Zama Girl Scouts one Sunday to go digging for sweet potatoes. They are different from the ones we have in the States but just as delicious. There is a little truck that drives around our neighborhood selling roasted ones in the evenings this time of year.

Maddie and the other Scouts digging away.
Vanessa dug up a few too!

Just part of Maddie's haul. (We took them home and cooked them up. Sweet and delicious!)


After the digging, they had lunch. They set up a bamboo trough and ran water through it. Then they dropped noodles at the top and they flowed down the bamboo with the water. You have to be quick with your chopsticks if you want to eat! At the end of the bamboo there is a basket that catches the noodles. The girls report they had a very good time!
