Photo Essay Explanation
Here it is - you're up to date. These photos move from my first morning in Colonia to photos from around town, to training (very important recorder and ball-in-a-cup practice included), to typhoon Perma, to our coconut tree climbing & coconut husking training, to working on my host family's new house in the outer islander village, to more shots around town, to our tapiocca (yes, like the pudding) digging and peeling day, to more shots around town (including a couple cool sunset/dead wood photos), and finishing with three of the girls here chewing beetle nut (local plant that has similar effects to chewing tobacco) & finally - what you've all been waiting for - me in a loin cloth. But it covers my ass! Take that!
Photo Essay Explanation
Oct. 23rd - Colonia, Yap
Sweet! Finally was able to borrow a computer that can post pictures - the internet here is soooooo slow, and my 'new' computer so poor at holding wireless connections, that this just hasn't been an option since the last time I posted photos. I hope you all enjoy getting these glimpses into what my life's been like in Micronesia, but if not, no sweat. I love putting them online any-dang-way.
So, this picks up after the previous one stopped. We've got placement day, then pics from the sakau night I described earlier, the hike to see Japanese guns from WWII on my host family's land, getting ready for & going to church, walking to training in the morning, water safety day (put on a lifevest, start a boat and don't drown), couple photos of interesting shirts at training (mine was given to me by my host father), my last days at 'home' in Pohnpei, a pic of us coming back from a rope swing our last day in Madolenihmw, and then the travel day to Yap.
Enjoy!
