Hello everyone.
I am doing well. This is my 3rd day in Fiji. We arrived on Thursday morning (which is really Wednesday for people in the states). We bussed to another part of the island and stayed at a motel where we had a traditional welcoming cerimony called a Savusavu (say-voo say-voo) by the PC Fiji staff. Following that we had several lectures on multiple items worth discussing.
The following day was spent in the ocean where we learned that basically if it is not sand or water, don't touch it! In addition, we went over boat safety and alittle bit of snorkeling.
The food is tremendously different hear. We eat alot of root crops, one of the main ones being dalo which is less thick than a potato but still pretty tasteless. Other items include alot of fruit, specifically mango and watermelon. Life is good here. Im trying not to be too overwelmed. I ran this morning with some PC trainees which was alot of fun and I am getting to know everyone here although names are still a bit tough. Fiji is a wonderful place and I feel that this is exactly where I need to be in my life at this time.
Again, thank you everyone for all your support.
