Now...those are all from the end of training but here are some new ones for you! These are from a trail directly behind my village. It takes about 30 minutes for someone who is fit to get to the highest part shown here. You can see the islands aroung Ovalau, the reef, and the village from up there! It's amazing. It's also quite a hike - lots of uphill and lots of slippery mud.







My intern and I trying to figure out where we can start doing some terrestrial surveys:



Washing off my waterbottle...this is natural spring water that they have tapped all the way almost at the top of the mountain.
