Kaselehlie! Taylor here, posting a few pictures of our trip. This is a pic of Pete and myself on our boat ride out to Nahlap Island for a relaxing day of snorkeling, kayaking, and exploring.










This is a panoramic view of a beautiful marine park we went snorkeling in. It was the first time we finally got to go in the water. One of the hardest things to wrap my mind around is the idea that we are on an island, but there are no beaches and the rivers are too dirty to swim in! Our new house will have more opportunities, though.


And here is a picture taken from Nahlap,of a storm that rolled in over the main island. Storms can come in pretty quickly and last a long time. This storm came over to our island eventually, and we escaped the cold(ish) rain by diving into the water and snorkeling around!

This last picture is of the waves once we finally reached them. We crossed lowtide beaches and trudged through sea-grassy, marshy mangrove swamps to get to the coral reef where the first waves we've seen yet are constantly crashing. The two men in the picture were some local spear fishers.
