Snorkeling and Eating Training

So yesterday we had nutrition and water safety class. AKA eating and snorkeling.

In the morning, we walked over to our nurse's amazing house and learned all about bashing open coconuts and how to use coconut milk to cook absolutely everything. Then we ate a copious amount of food, most of which was covered in coconut sauce. I don't even know if I really like coconut milk covering all of my food, but I guess I'll get used to it.

Then in the afternoon, we took a catamaran out in the ocean. Someone talked to us about the dangers of the sea as we sailed out to a snorkeling location. Then we all "had to" jump in the water with our Peace Corps issued PFDs to prove we could use them. Then we took them off and got to go snorkeling for a couple hours.

Peace Corps Vanuatu is freakin awesome. Today, I move out to my training village where I'll be for 2 months. I'll be coming back in to Vila every week to observe in classrooms, so I may have time to update some.

Also, I added some more pictures to my second facebook album which is at:
