Maybe you won’t believe me, but it has been really cold here lately. I always thought living in the tropics would be like living in a constant state of heat, but I was wrong. For the past month or so, I’ve been really cold. I mean it’s not New England cold, but after living here for almost 2 years, anything below 75 is cold. Anyway, I started just wearing my jacket at night, but now oftentimes I even wear it during the day. Also, some days I even wear socks. For some unknown reason I brought like 10 pairs to Vanuatu that I NEVER wear. But now, I’m wearing them. I sometimes wear long pants underneath my skirts, but that looks pretty ridiculous. If I had a winter hat, I’d wear it (lots of people here do). Maybe I should take it upon myself to knit one, although as of now I can only knit things in a rectangular shape, but I guess what else do I have to do?
So I guess we do have seasons in Vanuatu. This is the cold season. According to the Vanuatu Meteorological Society, the temperature in my province (Tafea Province) has a low of 60 degrees which is actually quite chilly if you ask me. I’m not sure where this information comes from, seeing there’s certainly no weather station on my island, but it’s probably from a nearby island. Anyway, I’m sure most of you reading from the States are now experiencing warm to hot temperatures. Summer now for you all, so think of me here in the frigid area of the South Pacific.
