bula!

Well..... Bula (hello) to everyone and thank you all for your posts!

I am alive an doing amazing in wonderful Fiji (except maybe a little sun burnt-the sun is sooo strong down here...i guess it is due to the whole "hole in the o-zone" thing??? (damn global warming)

I have had such an awesome time here, I wish I had more days :( The Beachouse was a great place to stay and had a ton of stuff to do.

I have gone horseback riding on the beach and up into the mountains-beautiful views. Afterwards went to our guides village and shared a over ripe coconut with him and his kids. It is actually very good when the coconut sprouts...the fruit is kinda spongie and sweet.

I met some cool aussie surfers that rented a car so last night 10 of us piled into it and went to an authentic fire walking ceremony and drank their sacred drink, Kava (made from some weird type of root??- I guess if you drink a lot of it, it is a muscle relaxer and makes your mouth go numb....dont worry mom, they only gave me a "low tide" helping of it)

Today, two Montana guys took me and my roomate, anja (norwegian) to this beautiful waterfall. it was so muddy getting up there we were walking fijian style (no shoes) all the way up to it. Man, those fijians have feet like leather!!

Other than that I have been just lounging around the beach getting some sun and going for swims in the ocean. the water is unbeleivably warm.

Sorry i dont have pictures posted but the computer wont allow it....ill try to post some pics in NZ tomorrow.

i hope everyone is doing awesome and goodbye from Fiji!
