Feejeeeeee

Fiji is still great, but it has been raining for the last two days. Not much sun to speak of...and I'm still waiting to see a rainbow like in postcards...:)

Tony and I have been doing a lot of reading and sleeping....which has been nice, although not what I thought we'd be doing. We actually went into a little town this morning called Sigatoka. By little I mean bigger than the one we're in now. I have bug bites covering my legs-over 30-and they are all swollen (ew). We went to the "care chemist"-pharmacy- to get something to fix it. They gave me some spray and some benadryl, both of which I have taken, and both of which have yet to effect the bites... It looks like I have some sort of disease. Ha. I think I made people on the public bus nervous!

What else, what else...
Tony and I found out that falling coconuts kill more people than sharks do, and being situated in a coconut grove, we've been watching our heads. :) We have, however, found a lot of fallen coconuts. Watching Tony repeatedly chuck one against a wall in hopes of breaking it open was wayyyyy more entertaining than having someone else open it with a stick in a matter of seconds. We were able to drink the milk out and eat some of the coconut which was awesome.

We're meeting a lot of great people and are the only Americans at the Beachouse as of right now.

I love reading your comments--and we'll post photos as soon as possible.

Hi guys,
sounds like you should have brough your Geen Bay Packer cheeze head with you. Then the coconuts would just bounce off you head.

Listerine works for the sting of a bug too. Takes the itch away.

The only thing exciting here today is that Dad is playing a semifinal match in the golf clubs President cup. Wish him luck in you thoughts.

We'll write more later. Love, Mom B.

Hey y'all! Glad to hear you're enjoying your time in Figi. Maybe it's not the falling coconuts killing people, but ones bouncing off walls...??? Henley and Daxton are enjoying hearing stories about crazy Uncle Tony. Take care, Love ya!
