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

Sunrise over the Pacific on the plane just before our arrival on Tarawa 


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.
