We made it to Tarawa

After 2 1/2 days of flying, and staying in Hawaii, and Fiji, we landed in Tarawa at 7am, just in time to see the sunset from the air

Our home for the next 2 years.  This is very comfortable and clean.  There are 9 of these homes along the shore on the campus of Moroni High School.  The Church opened this high school about 20 years ago and students from all over Kiribati come to school.  There are dorms for them to stay.  They have about 400 students.  They will be leaving in 2 weeks for summer break and won't be back until February.

    Have been w/o modern communication for several weeks but after about 90 minutes tonight i have found you and hopefully this time (#3) can succesfully post a comment.
    Your photos and commentary are so delightful and I am certain that legion of angels is still with you. Does it help to be left-handed now that you drive on the left-side?...just a thought
    love and misses Jo-Jo
