 heeeey!

 so life is good.  i don't really know what to say or even how to say everything that i want to.  im so much better at one to one conversations, which i guess brings me to...come visit!!!

my days are filled with waking up at 5:00am (the only time of the day thats cool enough to do any physical activity) i do some yoga and then either read or write.  breakfast. then class class class!  tuesdays we do cultural days so i get to see dancing, singing, laughing and the beauty of the traditional fijian culture.  we also eat the most amazing foods, fish in coconut milk, fish wrapped in fresh vegetables, fruits, and curry!! i'm learning how to cook fijian and indo fijian cuisine so i can impress you all and make your taste buds dance when i come back. 

i haven't been able to do much exploring on my own, which is really strange and hard because im not very good at staying put.  but during training we have to be 'good', its complicated and a bit silly... the second these 7 weeks are done i'm going everywhere!!!!


the culture is extremely layered and complex, dealing with womens roles has been the toughest part of living here.  write me (seriously) mcdrazba@gmail.com and i'll go into more detail about everything

a view from one of our training sites when i need to 'get away' and there aren't any rugby games i come here, climb to the top seats and sit for awhile and read or write. its lovely and surprisingly peaceful.

i dont' have my camera right now (i stole these from a friend) i'll post more later.

i'll try to update again soon, tell me what you want to hear about and i'll have a lot more to say, im still getting used to this. love you all so much!!!!!!!!!
