Receiving my garland
This was one of the gifts I received at my farewell party. Its beautiful and hand painted and made.

With a couple of the boys
They're so cute!!!

Some of my gifts
I'm with teacher's Ester and Sera. I was given the tshirt and sulu by the parents.

Hello beach!
This is the beach at Pacific Harbor.

The bliss of it all
This is one of my favorite photos.

Lounging all day in the bean bag chairs
This was such a relaxing day.

My lunchtime beer
The bar was glass and had shells and sand it in. I'm half through with my favorite Fiji beer - Vonu. Some of the profit from each one sold goes to turtle conservation. And it tastes really good!

Spring break or volunteer trip?
This is what happens when you drink with 19 year olds. Ah, it felt like college spring break but with a much more effeicient way to keep the beer cold! The center of this thing was ice! Yum!

My official sulu!
This was made by one of the mothers and is the traditional attire for women in Fiji. Many women wear them every day. I love it! One, its orange and two, its really comfy!

A great bus pic!
I will miss the bus!

Crystal, one of the students, saying goodbye
She's one of the ones that asked me not to go and stay with them instead.

Another farewell
She was so cute pulling on her uniform the whole time she talked.

My last day
My last photo at school. The others are teacher's Ester, Sera and Shavin

Coral on the beach
This is from Manta Ray resort in the Yasawa islands.

Sunset over the island
This is one of my favorite photos. The sun had set on the other side of the island and you had this awesome glow. This was at Manta Ray.

My basket!
I really did have fun making this!
