So, a few things:
1) We DID see the eclipse the other day and it was really cool. It didn't get totally dark here but it was cool to see the crescent sun.
2) YES, this IS the rainiest place in the world, and YES it does rain everyday, usually 2 or 3 times. Sometimes it sprinkles, but sometimes it DUMPS.
3) Always carry a machete, you never know when there will be a delicious coconut lying in your path.
4) We are living with a host family for the first 3 weeks (until the 4th of August), then we move to rural, rural Madolenihmw where we will have our own house, and will be teaching in the local high school. Once we move, access to internet may be scarce.
5) Breadfruit is tasty, we eat lots of delicious fish (Tuna Sashimi is an everyday affair) and often it is just sitting there WHOLE on the plate which is cool. There are other weird foods and I'm having fun with all of it:)
6) Everyone's so SOCIAL!
Okay, please, if you have questions let me know and I WILL respond because right now there's WAY too much going on for me to be able to think of what to say... I'm not sure if that makes any sense but it's true.
Kaselehila! Taylor - so glad you have a camera and are posting some beautiful pictures! Try to get one of your home-stay home to share with us if you can!
ReplyDeletePete - do they have cocnut crabs there? I remember those from Guam and Diego Garcia when I was in the Navy - they are like a regular crab with one hugely deformed, monstrous claw specially adapted for opening coconuts - you should adopt one and have it follow you around, thus eliminating the need for a machete!
Nice to be back home for us after three weeks in Italy. Glad you kids are having a good time but sorry we are missing you for the rest of the summer!
Pete - nice shades! Take care and keep on posting. THanks for doing the Blog - it s very appreciated by all of us!
Love, Bob/Dad
