This was the "beranda" at Joe Fisherman's Village, where we stayed for those two and a half weeks we disappeared from the face of the Earth. Although a bit run down, it was very comfortable and featured some of the best seafood I've ever had. The owners, a couple named Joe and Zura, were devote Muslims. They were kind, giving, helpful, and gracious, even to the spoiled brats and burnouts who checked in. Having been in a Muslim country for over a month, I must say I'm not wholly impressed with the religion's practitioners. Joe and Zura, with their quick wit, candor, and kindness were wonderful examples of how religion can inform, heal, and beautify when practiced with a true heart.
