PHOTOS and more

Go to this website and the first album (nov-dec 2008) and you'll see tons of Futuna photos!

School has started on Futuna. Unlike Ambae, school here actually started on the first day that the government decided. I helped out a bit in the 1st grade classroom with english seeing as these kids are supposed to be in English school but don't know a word of English. Now I'm busy sorting through the gigantic piles of books that are scattered throughout the various buildings at school.

It's been hot here lately and the water has been really finicky. Some days it runs great and then others (like this whole past weekend) it doesn't run at all and your dirty clothes just pile up and pile up. Luckily we have a rain tank but that's just enough water to drink and cook with and if you're lucky shower (otherwise you just go to the ocean to shower).

Nothing much new. Oh I bought a bag of flour and now my family is making bread sometimes which is really really nice for breakfast (as opposed to these things called breakfast crackers which are just flavorless hard crackers). Also I've started eating with the teachers again now that school has started so I like that as well.

Not much else. Our internet was cut for awhile due to the school not paying the phone bill, but now I should be back online.
