Hi friends,
I have been away from blogging for a long while.
I have actually been physically very far away. I had the wonderful opportunity to live in the small village of Popua in Tonga Tapu one of the Polynesian Islands in the South Pacific with a very loving family for two months.
When it was starting to be winter here it was their spring time and we enjoyed swimming in the ocean and hiking and just lounging in the sun. It was a fantastic experience,. The Tongan culture is amazing the island is very beautiful and the people are most gracious and loving.
I loved the children. Everywhere we went we were greeted with "Hi" and "Good Bye". They loved the palangi ( white people) and never failed to talk to us with big smiles on their faces. They picked flowers for us and made us garlands.
Here are just a few of my little friends:
