Flowers


Yesterday was the first day of actual classes. We spent all morning going over program rules, expectations, agenda, etc. The afternoon was devoted to a brief introduction to the Samoan language. It's going to be very different from French. It's been a while since I've learned a language from the very beginning so it'll be a challenge, but one that I am looking forward to- at the moment at least.

After classes were over most of us headed down to Waikiki beach for the rest of the afternoon/evening. The water is so much bluer than that at home, but the bottom is coral rocks and at least a few people ended up with small cuts on their feet. The bus system here is pretty good, which is nice when you want to get around town.

Off to class now. I'll post some pictures when I can find a way to download them off my computer. Apparently I dont have the correct permissions on this one.
