March 14

It's Sunday night, I'm tired. Alex and I just returned from our trip to the airport. It was meant to be a 2-night trip but turned into 4 nights as some cyclone cancelled the Thursday flight to our island. Bamma and Justin were able to get off the island on a flight back to Vila today.

Our other friend from Antarctica, Annie, was meant to fly here on Thursday, but her flight was cancelled by the cyclone as well. She tried to get on the flight today, but that didn't work out either, so it seems Annie isn't going to be able to come visit us on Pentecost, as she's heading to Hawaii next week.

The time with our friends was good. It was fun to show off our community, and to story-on with them about Vanuatu and their culture. And to get in a few evenings of Euchre.

One of the three major goals of Peace Corps is that folks in America learn more about other countries' fashion. Bamma and Justin certainly got a glimpse this country's fashion, and hopefully they'll be able to share that experience with their friends and family back home.

Lady Gaga and Half-half are both well, Alex and I like to imagine they missed us and are happy to see us return.
