Koro
Photos from our two week stay in Koro, which was supposed to be a few days but the wind was very strong so we couldn’t leave. We really enjoyed hiking every day. Notice who’s wearing my skirt? (his idea)

Motown
Our buddy and climbing partner Mo came to visit us for 12 days. It was Mo’s first time snorkeling, and they loved it. Good thing they are a good swimmer, as the first snorkel featured lots of current and waves. We did lots of snorkeling. Our first day sailing Mo was terrified the whole time.…

Gabey
My cousin Gabe arrived in Savusavu one day at 5:30 am on a ferry boat. The first few days he was here Wade kept giving him a bit of the stinkeye–like, who are you? But then they became good buddies. There was some confusion on Guava Jelly between the menfolk when I was talking as…
