PAD Part 31

Back to Vila for some trainings, some kava, some sunsets, and waiting for my family!

Nambawan Cafe, one of my favorite hang out lunch spots, with the lovely Bree and her chunky carrot smoothie

A double banana??? What will they come up with next!

Working hard to set up computers for the SMART Sistas Camp

I finally got the chance to head back and see my first host family on Lelepa. It was really nice to actually be able to talk with them this time around! Turns out when you just arrive and don't speak the language, communication is hard...but after living here for more than a year, it's much easier!

I had a lovely day thrift shopping with my brother and cousin, meeting some more extended family and spending time with them, but of course I forgot my camera...so here's a picture of the room I shared with Laura at Pacific Paradise Motel!

They're here!

*I know there's not a lot of explanation about what SMART Sistas is, but I'm working on a longer blog post about the camp. I plan to post it next Monday, so stay tuned!
