Me laekem Vanuatu tumas!

In the past month, I have: climbed a coconut tree and opened a coconut for myself; drank kava with the chief of Tanoliu village; swam among octopi and eel in some of the most breathtaking sand beaches the world has to offer; held an endangered sea turtle; caught, killed, and roasted a wild chicken; planted a community garden; encountered spiders bigger than my hand; seen fruits and plants I can't even begin to describe; and eaten (almost) nothing but fresh foods since the day I got here.   Suffice it to say (in Bislama), mi laekem Vanuatu tumas! Translation: I love Vanuatu!

Now, here's a picture of me with my host brother's horse!
