3 months!



Highlights:

-Ate whole fish
-Tried pandanus, breadfruit and u
-Tried crab (didn't like it-wasn't a good kind apparently)
-got a crown of flowers made by my Educational Assistant for National Teacher Day (see pic above)
-Finished 8 books
-Ran my first 5k here and came in third for my age group
