Hanging by Threads

I literally was hanging in the air by threads! We took a trip to two of Santo's (An island in Vanuatu) Blue holes. Both had amazing rope swings. This is something I've always wanted to do but never had the nerve to do as I'm a rather husky woman. However, part of my goal in life is not to let my size determine what I can or can't do. I don't have to be a twig to swing on a rope attached to a tree! Man did I have a BLAST! At the second blue hole I even did the rope that was up two set of steps!  It was a rush and I'm not gonna lie I was scared BUT I did it! Not everyone there did it and it felt AMAZING!! I'm looking forward to a few more events like this over the next few years.

PS the cost to get to and in this place $10.   Yuppers the price of a "value meal". You should really see this place for yourselves!! 

Until next time

SPLASH

A Tradition we need to adopt globally NOW!

A custom here is that during sick moon (A woman's menstrual time) she is not allowed to cook; as she could make her family sick. Though I'm not sure she would, I still love that cultural practice!

What do y'all think?  I'm totally down for making this a part of American culture :-)

Until next time

Diversity

So the coolest thing happened tonight at dinner. I was eating at Beach Front resort when the song "Diversity" came on. This song was done by a peace corps group almost 4 years back and they play it on the radio here. I've attached the YouTube link so you can go check it out.

Even cooler: the people I was having dinner with said the song is played all over the country & they could even sing the chorus. Cool, huh!  Props Peace Corps Volunteers!

Until next time

In case anyone needed a reminder about how BEAUTIFUL Vanuatu truly is and REMAINS after the depressing images that came out following TC Pam!
