My eye "looks like a gecko" according to Chase. thanks Chase.(insert middle finger emoji) I have pink eye in Fiji, but I'm hanging in there (barely). I got some eye drops flowing and some drugs in my system. My eye is looking loads better. Lisa brought me some cereal in bed. After a warm shower, I made an appearance with my gecko eye. Today was chill. everyone had time to edit and sort through their pictures. I finally got to upload my blog. Uploading pictures took FOREVER. we also picked our 3 best pictures for the critique we did after dinner. I played connect four with chase. The Nat Geo expert Ula arrived! She's so cool and it was awesome to hear her thoughts on our pictures. It was really cool to see everyone else's top pics from the trip. My low today was my eye but my high today was when Jamison and Chase gave me their fries at lunch. Shoutout to holly and Ula for getting me eyes drops. Oh and the ice cream here at Mango Bay is off the charts amaazzinggg.<br />

Today was our last full day. We started the day early with
breakfast at 7. After breakfast, I had a chance to meet with Ulla, the nat geo
expert, and decide/choose my top 10 photos for my final presentation.
Initially, I was worried what Ulla would think of my photos because she is so
talented. Ulla was impressed by the composition of my photos and the vibrant
colors in my photos. She said I had the best photo-composition out of the
group. That was really cool to hear her feedback. After everybody got a chance
to meet with Ulla, we set out for the day’s adventure. We went to a village and
had to bust out the sulu’s. I thought we were done with those.. smh. Of course
we had to be welcomed into the village with a Kava ceremony when we met the
chief. Kava tastes like dirty water. I don’t understand why Fijians are
obsessed with it. We went on a hike up to a little waterfall. It was nothing compared
to the waterfalls we went to on day three. I didn’t really feel like swimming
and getting wet but we still took a few pictures on the rocks with the flag.
The worst part of the hike was that I could not for the life of me find my
Chaco’s anywhere, so I was forced to wear flip-flops. Don’t worry it gets
worse. There was horse poop every five feet along the trail. Honestly the trail
was so small and so uncivilized I don’t even understand how the horses got to
such narrow places to dump. Whatever.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On
the way back down, Mrs. Simon slipped and fell and it was hilarious. When we
got back to the home base area where we started, we had another not edible
lunch. Classic. I had 2 pieces of pineapple and that’s all. Our next activity
was something I’d never done before. We arrived at this mudbath place. It was
so fun and weird and awesome. They had buckets of mud to lather up. It quickly
turned into a mud fight, which was of course awesome. Jacob was covered from
head to toe in mud. People had mud literally all over their bodies. We took
pictures with the Nat Geo flag and Lisa and Brett made Chase and I be the
models because we are always the ones laughing the most. The mud dried and it
was hard to move, so thank goodness we were smiling we put it on our faces. I
felt like I had Botox or something. After finishing that photo shoot with Lisa
and Brett, we had to get in the rinse off the mud pool. The bottom was
DISGUSTING. And I had to stick my head under mud water to get the handprint of
mud out of my hair (thx Chase). After we got most of the mud off, their was a
separate mud pool for cleaner people. This one was boatloads better because it
was warm and had a rocky bottom. Holly Hartman did not let us put mud on her (lame),
but she did get in the second pool. Mrs. Simon didn’t get in at all. Classic.
We had handstand contests under water and also had chicken fights. Lisa and I
totally won. Around 5ish we got back on the bus and headed back to Smuggler’s
Cove. On the bus ride back, I played monopoly on an app with Alex Cooper and
Chase. I was the thimble, so that’s probably why I lost. When we got back, we
ate dinner and they surprised us with a cake. Then they came and sang the ISA
ISA song. That song gets me every time. After dinner we got to hang out and do
whatever we wanted. We got to present our final projects to the whole group. Our
final projects consisted of our top 10 pictures from the trip. It was amazing
seeing everyone’s finest pics and hearing what everyone learned. What I learned
on this trip was that photography is way more than just taking a quick picture
of someone or something. Photography involves a social skill that requires
connecting with people, learning their story, and then making the picture. After
dinner and presentations, I spent time on the beach with my friends doing light
painting and hanging with Ulla and listening to her amazing stories. I started
to feel really sad that the trip is coming to an end. <o:p></o:p></div>

Today we packed our bags and left Mango Bay. SIDENOTE: my
eye is pretty much all better, and I got to wear contacts for the first time in
a few days, which was nice. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We got a
huge bus to our next and final stop at Smuggler’s cove in Nadi.... Everybody got
to have their own row which was pretty nice to stretch out. On the bus, we
played the app Heads Up again, which provided endless entertainment. The best
part was when Chase was trying to act out the bunny hop and he hopped so high
that he hit his head on the ceiling of the bus. Even Holly Hartman likes to
play. The bus ride was a little over two hours. Today we discovered little
bites all over my legs. I blame my insufficient mosquito nets at Mango Bay.
When we finally got to Smuggler’s, we dropped our bags and went to dinner. All
of the interesting events happened after dinner. Ulla did a presentation of how
she narrows down her pictures when she creates a photo story. All of her
pictures were from the day she spent with us yesterday. Yesterday she took over
4000 pictures and she narrowed it down to about 15 or 20. That was really cool
and interesting to see how she did that and how she picked her pictures. After
the presentation, we did highs and lows on the beach. My high at that time was
playing heads up and Ulla’s presentation, however the best part of my day
occurred after. After we dispersed to do our own thing, Chase Liz and I decided
to do some light painting on the beach. I went back to the girl’s room to grab
my tripod, and I saw some random girl in my bed. She had moved my backpack,
luggage, and water bottle from my bed. I was very confused and disturbed. I
informed Lisa of this situation and she took care of it. Jacob and a few others
tagged along for light painting. Ulla found us and helped us by suggesting including
a palm tree in the picture, and it ended up looking pretty cool. Ulla is going
to post the picture on instagram. Can I get a tripod creds?? or nahhh… after we
finished light painting, we ran into Lisa. Lisa was planning on going for a
midnight-dip in the pool and said we could join her. We raced back in our suits
and we decided to all do cannon balls into the water. Unfortunately I landed on
Lisa’s head, but she’s all good. After that, a hotel dude came outside and told
us the pool hours, and we got in trouble. This was pretty hilarious because our
Nat Geo leader got in trouble with us. Gotta love lisa. I got back to the girls
room and borrowed lucy’s phone charger and converter because I brought the
wrong kind of converter and someone stole my charger. Lucy’s converter was very
complex and I couldn’t seem to figure out how to work it so I called Claire
over to my bed.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Claire plugged it in and
stuff and we heard this weird sound coming from the charger. All of a sudden
Claire said it smelled like it was burning. Next thing we know, BOOM. The
charger just blew up. Claire was so scared that she fell off the bed. We were
trying to be quiet because everyone else was sleeping, but at that point it was
pretty hard. So basically I owe lucy a new phone charger, Alex - 22 dollars and
grace - 70 dollars. Mom.. can you bring those to the airport. :/ today was
hilarious and great. I really loved getting to spend time with Ulla, and
learning from her about photo stories. I didn’t really have any lows today.</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Today was another pretty chill, but fun day. We boarded a
boat at 9:30 am, and went on a boat ride to another village. This village was
far more advanced than the village we stayed in. For starters, it had a bigger
population so it had more houses. It even had a school. We got to go in a
classroom of the school and all of the kids sang to us.. FUNFACT: today I
learned that Fijians don’t say trapezoid; they say trapezium. Ulla came with us
on our adventure today, and she takes pictures of literally everything. I
always wonder if she ever takes a bad photo. She’s awesome. After leaving the
village school, we were given about an hour to do whatever we wanted in the
village and meet back at 1. Chase and I separated from the group, and we
decided to go find someone to connect with and learn about their culture. We
stumbled upon a woman in a house weaving a mat. We did rock paper scissors to
decide who would ask her if we could join her in her home. I ended up losing so
I had to ask. She kindly welcomed us into her one room home. We sat on the
floor with her at first and just watched her fingers fly through the strands.
TBH I have no idea what her name was because I have no idea what she said. We
took some dank shots of her and her hands rapidly weaving the mat. I guess we
were both mesmerized by her weaving skills because we checked the time and had
to go. When we got back to the group I thought about how the boat ride was
going to be long and I REALLY had to go to the bathroom. So I made lucy come
with me to find a bush somewhere figuring it would be the same quality as a
village toilet. A villager saw me go into the bushes, so I didn’t want to just
go right there so I tried to play it off by smelling some leaves. Lucy was
laughing at my cover story when the lady asked me if I wanted to go to the
bathroom. Just wait it gets worse. So she leads me to this outhouse, which only
made me happy because it was teal. So I get in there and try to lock the door
which was a struggle and then there was no toilet paper. But the worst part was
trying to UNLOCK the door. It was shut and I was calling out to lucy for help
even though she could do nothing from the outside to help me. I had to hit the
lock with extreme force and finally it flew open. At that point, all I really
wanted to do was escape the village on this island. Thank god we left right
after that in the boats. Following the bathroom mishap, we went to a little
island for lunch and for the rest of the day. Mrs. Simon told Bora that she
would give him 20 bucks if Bora ate the eye of the fish. All for it, Bora
downed the fish eye and nearly vomited. Mrs. Simon said it was worth every
penny. Brett climbed into a tree and pulled a snake off the branches. (like
it’s casual) I sat in a hammock chair with Mrs. Simon (I still don’t really
know how we both fit in the one person hammock chair). We watched videos of her
dogs on her phone because she has SIX dogs. Oh mrs. simon. Later we all played
volleyball, and my team blamed Brett for every point that we missed or messed
up on. On the way back from the island to Mango Bay, we all played the app
Heads Up, and it was hilarious. Also, on the boat ride back, Jamison ALMOST
caught a fish, but the line broke, and it was really sad because he was really
sad. Back at Mango Bay, I had a milkshake and two servings of ice cream. After
dinner, Ulla did her presentation of her photography story. It was inspiring
and amazing. She has done a lot of dangerous things involving erupting
volcanoes and has at one point burned off all her eyelashes.
#anythingfortheshot. Ulla also did a lot of work involving mummification in
Papa New Guinea. That was cool, but kind of freaky. Following dinner and the
presentation, I played a game of pool with Jamison and Lisa. We lost because
Lisa hit the 8-ball into the wrong pocket. SMH!! SMH. On the way back to my room, I
turned my phone’s flashlight on because the pathway is not very well lit. I can’t
decide if this was a good idea or not. I saw a million frogs on the path. Not
little cute frogs. GIANT, UGLY, DISGUSTING, LUMPY FROGS. I was horrified on
stepping on a frog or a frog jumping on me. I walked BAREFOOT on the path as if
I was walking on eggshells. THEN, I saw this HUGE frog. Seriously, that frog
was the size of my fist. I stepped to the side of it to avoid stepping on it,
AND IT HOPPED ON MY FOOT. I let out a blood-curdling scream, and I am certain I
woke up everyone in the entire resort. Oops my bad. It was terrifying. When I
went to the outdoor bathroom to brush my teeth, I borrowed someone’s flip-flops
and did high knees all the way there to scare./ avoid another frog incident. I
was so paranoid about the frogs that I intensely tried to tuck in the corners
of my mosquito net under my mattress, but honestly my mosquito net has so many
holes that the only thing it would really stop from coming in is a pterodactyl …
I can’t even.<o:p></o:p></div>

Leaving Tovutovu. I did a little shopping before lunch and
our flight today. Today we were finally headed to bigger and better things.
(Warm showers and wifi). We got to the little hut of an airport in Taveuni and
there was free wifi. It was fun to connect with a few of my good friends back
in Htown and my siblings before getting on the 7 row flight. Our flight was
again only about an hour. When I got on the flight I wiped out. I’m not even
sure how.. I laughed at myself along with everybody else. Chase was like “FINALLY.
I’ve been waiting for like a week for you to fall!!” and seriously of all
places, I fell on the small plane. Not even slippery or wet. SMH. Midflight,
Jamison tapped lucy who then tapped me to ask Lisa how much longer until we
landed. I looked back at Jamison and the poor kid was red in the face with
tears in his eyes. As soon as we landed on the little runway in Nadi, Jamison
hopped off the plane and actually sprinted down the runway. It was perhaps the
greatest sight ive yet to see in my life. Jamison looked like Forrest Gump
running away from mean kids when Jenny yelled RUN FORREST RUN. Jamison ran so
fast that he had to take his hat off because it was going to fly off. Lmao.
Poor guy. But thank god he got to relieve himself. As soon as we got to the
airport we got to meet up with CATHY BOTTOMS. That was the best part of my day
besides Jamison running down the runway. HAHAHA. We got on our huge bus and
were on our way to Mango Bay (2 and half hour drive). We took a little detour
to an eco place or something. We saw parrots and iguanas and snakes. Kevin would
have loved it. Kev, you would have been so proud of me! I led them put a snake
around my neck! That was pretty dank sauce. finally when we arrived at mango
bay they gave us drinks in the lobby and we were all in awe of the electricity
and lights. Immediately Bora said, “This right here is a five star hotel”. Anything
is nicer than sleeping on the floor in the village without lights and without
wifi and without warm water. Dinner we delish and after dinner we watched Polynesians
dance. At one point they asked for volunteers and of course I was up there
dancing with Jacob, Chase, Brett, Madiha, Elizabeth and some other people. We did the
Cha Cha slide. The only downside to my day has to be my eyes are red and
swelling. Hopefully a goodnight’s sleep will have me good as new tomorrow. My highs
today were seeing Cathy Bottoms and watching Jamison sprint to the bathroom. <o:p></o:p></div>

We had to say goodbye to the villagers. I did not expect to
cry or feel so sad to leave but that was one emotional goodbye. Not a dry eye
in the place. I lost it when I saw Vao with hands covering his eyes talking to
Ms. Hartman and Mrs. Simon. I came closer and saw Vao was bawling because he
was going to miss us. I think part of what made it so sad for the villagers was
that they had been preparing and expecting us for 6 months, and it was finally
over. A lot of the kids missed the school bus on purpose in order to spend a
few extra hours with us. I hadn’t seen Sala all morning, and I was worried I
was going to leave without saying goodbye. We loaded our things into the vans
before the big goodbye. I looked to the top of the hill and saw Sala with a
huge smile on his face. He sprinted to the bottom and jumped into my arms for a
big hug. All of us sat under the shed one last time and they thanked us for
helping them and for staying with them. Then they sang us a farewell song that
killed us. I turned around to see if I was the only one crying but sure enough
every single kid had tears in their eyes. When the Fijians waved goodbye in
their song everyone lost it again. They were all crying too, and it was so sad!
When we finally managed to get in the vans at 10:30, (exactly one hour behind
schedule of course) I saw Sala running up and down the sides of the van trying
to stand on his tippie toes looking for me. When he finally found me in the
back of the van, he waved and yelled BYE MEGHAN! It was so cute omg. The vans
pulled out the village and tears streamed down everybody’s faces. We talked
about how we couldn’t believe that we could be so connected and touched in such
a short amount of time. I went in expecting to help them and make their village
a better place, but I never expected them to touch my life in such a big way.
When I said everyone was crying, I mean everyone. Yes ALL of the boys were
crying too. On the bright side, it was a treat to come back to Tovutovu because
we were all looking forward to sleeping on a real bed. We dropped our stuff,
ate lunch, and set out for an afternoon of snorkeling. The water was freezing
cold. Bora finally got to go swimming and get wet because it had been enough
time since his surgery. the guide gave us a briefing before we went out in the
boat. She said there was a 90% chance of seeing a shark. Fun fact: the biggest
fish in a clownfish group is the female and the second biggest is the male.
When the female dies, the male quickly turns into a female and becomes the
queen of the clownfish. The guide compared this to Bruce Jenner. Lmao. The
water was “refreshing”. ie I was shivering the whole time in the water. A lot
of people swam in way too shallow of water and got cut my coral. Ha. I didn’t.
I swam down really deep and might have popped a blood vessel in my eye.. for
dinner we got to have american food, and it was the greatest pizza of all time.
I seriously ate 11 pieces. Everybody was so wiped out from the day that nearly
have the kids fell asleep at the dinner table. I was one of them. oh another
fun fact: I finally found my passport and credit card that I have been missing
for 4 days. And I found my upband that I thought I lost on the first day of the
trip. Don’t worry, mom. Everything is coming back in one piece. Except for the
sleeping mat. I ditched that ish at the village. I’ll miss my village friends,
and all the laughs and dances and pure joy and sense of family I felt when I
was there. My low today was definitely seeing Vao cry when we were leaving. My
high today was dinner with the amazing view of the ocean. The best part was
when Holly tried to explain the pronunciation of Fijian by saing YO G. like
what holly…. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We worked a lot on the foundation of the community center we
were building. Today we leveled out all the dirt and I actually cant believe
the progess we made in the three days we spent working on the phase one part of
the project. After lunch we headed to the school that the kids in the village
go to. On Thursdays they have sports day. we went inside some of their
classrooms and talked to a few of the kids. When I left the room I said, “bye
y’all” and they thought “y’all” was hilarious. I saw one of my favorite boys,
Val, at school and he gave me a high five because he got all of his math
homework correct that I helped him with. The kids were released from the rooms
to enjoy their sports day. We played a couple of games of volleyball with them.
There was one point that went on forever and we ended up losing the point, but
it was still a blast because all of the kids were so into it and screaming and
shouting. The headmaster of the school even joined the game. The energy from
the little kiddos was amazing. After playing volleyball with Fijian kids, we
went to a natural waterslide, but we were unable to go on it because the
current was too strong. I was actually relieved because it looked dangerous. We
went back to the village and I went to Rock Pool with a few Fijian kids and
Bora and Jacob. Later we set up for dinner and finished the night with a dance
party. It was hilarious and fun even though we were all exhausted. The Fijian
boys asked all of the girls to dance so everybody was included which was
awesome. Some people danced while others sat on the floor for another kava
ceremony. The highlight of my day was watching Jacob have a dance off with
another Fijian guy. No worries, all of it was captured on video. That was our
last night in the village and our best one.<br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Day six was a great day. We worked hella hard on the
community service project. We moved a lot of rocks and got our hands very
dirty. Thank God for the work gloves. I took a lot of water breaks… holly
Hartman is a really intense worker. I managed to escape getting a sunburn
another day. I cannot deal with the number of flies that swarm our food during
lunch. I could really use an executioner rn. Lisa actually thought I was
dancing when I was actually swarming flies away from my face today at lunch.
Shoutout to Lisa for ripping yesterday’s knot out of my hair. #MVP. Post lunch,
Madiha and I raided the boys’ house in a search to find a card reader. We
failed to find one, but we found gummies among Jamison’s stuff. The Fijian boys
took us for a hike to the farm. I didn’t know what I was in for when I agreed
to go. That was a lot more incline than I planned for. My legs were covered in
dirt up to my knees. It wasn’t really a farm at all. It was a Kava farm. I axed
some branch with a machete, so that was pretty fun. We took a bunch of pictures
that we needed for our village scavenger hunt. Instead of playing volleyball
today, Chase and I took the time to go to villagers’ houses and sat down and
talked to them and got to know them by having a conversation. It was nice that
it was just him and me because everybody else sort of feels like the paparazzi.
We got to meet the youngest child in the village and learn all about their
family. The last thing we did while visiting with them was take their pictures.
Today we learned that the most important part of photography is connecting with
people. I learned a lot about Fijian culture and life and it was amazing to see
the inside of the houses. The next person we visited was the eldest person in
the village. Her name was Mary, and she was 84 years old. When Chase and I
walked in the door, she started crying tears of joy because she was so happy to
have visitors. Another woman named Ili came with us to translate because Mary
didn’t speak English at all. She said that she was so happy we visited because
she felt like everybody forgets to visit the old people. She sang for us in
Fijian and she remembered an English song. Mary asked us if Chase and I were
husband and wife. I laughed and shook my head and said no no we are best
friends, but I think she thought were brother and sister. ha oh well. It was
honestly the highlight of my trip. She asked us to take her family portrait and
we promised to send it to her. When we got up to leave, she said something to
Ili and Ili turned to us and said that Mary asked if we could visit tomorrow.
We promised. She kissed our hands and we said goodbye. That just about did us
in. We took pictures of the sunset. I helped Fijian kids with their math
homework. Dinner was edible today!! After dinner, we took pictures of the
stars. I didn’t take any though because I let other people use my tripod. Overall,
it was a great day. My lows today were the dirt on my legs and the flies
swarming me. My highs today were playing keep it up with a balloon at lunch,
connecting with the villagers with Chase, and laying on the ground staring at
the stars with Madiha, Chase, Brett, and Mrs. Simon. We spotted the Southern
Cross in the sky.<br />

Today was my first day waking up in the village. My hair was
absolutely trashed and one giant knot. I was on the cooking team today. That
meant I had to help prepare lunch for everyone while the other part of our
group shoveled gravel and started working on our community service project.
(sidenote: bugs are crawling all over my computer screen right now and I want
to die) Spending time in the kitchen was a great way to get to talk to a few of
the women of the village. I got to know “Aunty Emele” and Siterri really well.
Basically I just got demoted to buttering pieces of bread with Ms. Hartman.
Holly also made me smash hard boiled eggs later when she couldn’t stand the
smell. We put together little sandwiches. I am surviving in Fiji only because
of rice. God bless rice. I got to play with the kids all day today. I’m not
having kids until I’m at least 30. I’m EXHAUSTED. One boy named Sella or
Estella or Tella (I’m not sure I couldn’t really understand him…) became my
shadow. I figured out later his name is actually salla. He followed me everywhere.
it was s’cute. After lunch, a few of us were hanging under the shack on the
mats with the kids. They were jumping and laying and playing and pulling my
hair and tickling us and sitting on us and attacking us FOR HOURS. LITTLE KIDS
NEVER GET TIRED. I watched Lusi sew sulu’s which we painted later. My sulu that
I painted is turquoise (obviously). We used stencils to paint designs on them.
Post sulu painting, the Fijian men challenged us to volleyball. I was up for
the challenge, but I had no idea that Fijians were so good at volleyball.
Someone please tell Gammill that I played volleyball in Fiji. After losing a
game with only americans on my side, I decided to leave those teammates behind.
The Fijians asked me to be on their team and we started dominating. I’m still
kind of intimidated at how hard they hit the ball. We played in some rocky dirt
down by the water. Everytime the ball went out of bounds and into the rocky
water, a boy would hop down across he rocks as if walking on clouds. Their feet
are so tough. In the middle of the game someone pointed at the sky and there
was a double rainbow. It was dank sauce. After losing a tough game, I subbed
out and let someone else have a turn. Around sunset, all the kiddos started
swimming in the ocean. Realizing I couldn’t miss this shot, I ran up to the
girls’ house to grab my camera. Little footsteps were behind me. I turned
around and saw my little boy chasing after me. I slowed down a little and he
ran up and grabbed my hand. SUCH A NUG. Back down by the water, Brett taught me
how to take silhouette pictures and Chase taught me about white balance. So we
took some dank silhouette sunset shots. SIDENOTE: Ms. Hartman said that our
conditions in Fiji are rougher than the conditions in AFRICA. We are seriously roughing
it out here in the village, which brings me to my next point: THE SHOWERS.
There is literally only one shower we can use and there are I think 9 girls.
Claire and I decided to shampoo our hair in the ocean. It was great to wash the
dirt off, but my hair is a lost cause. There are knots in my hair that I have
to chop out. Mrs. Simon and Hartman have created an on paper twitter caused
village probs. I have a lot to add to that… for dinner we had some more Fijian
food and let me tell you .. all I want at this point is a plain cheeseburger.
That’s all. I got WAY too much food and I took one bite of something and didn’t
eat the rest of my plate. SOS. Even the rice tasted like plastic today. On the
bright side, my little Fijian boy found me at dinner and sat by me. #nug. Today
was Jacob’s birthday!!! At dinner they had balloons and a cake for him. I’m so
thankful it was his birthday solely for the cake that served as my dinner. After
dinner the Fijians gathered for more Kava. occasionally we would get up and
dance to the songs. The HIGHLIGHT of my day was when this huge jacked Fijian
boy (probably in his 20s) came out of no where with a full length black dress
on and came over to Lucy and made her stand up and dance. It was only them
dancing. It was absolutely the best thing I’ve ever witnessed in my lifetime.
Chase and I just about wet our pants laughing. My low today was definitely the
knots in my hair. My highs today were playing volleyball with the Fijian boys,
making a sulu with Aunty Emele, and Lucy dancing the night away with her Fijian
suitor.<o:p></o:p><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
Day four was our last day in the bungalow “resort” before
the village. We learned all about Lightroom. That took forever. Finally we set
out in the vans to have snorkeling day. we had to trek through some sketchy
rocks to get to this beach. That also took forever and I still don’t understand
how I haven’t fallen yet. Since bora couldn’t swim and chase didn’t feel good,
I opted to not snorkel and stay on the beach to entertain them. The sky looked
like it was going to rain, and we had to wait for the tide to come up.
Everybody played Frisbee on the beach. Holly and I sat on a log and bonded over
our mutual hatred for sand between our toes. Ms. Hartman and Mrs. Simon tried
to do cartwheels on the beach and both miserably failed. Simon ate it twice and
Ms. H was only slightly less terrible because she managed to not complete go
face first into the sand. We later headed back to Tovutovu and packed our bags
and headed to the village. it was pouring again. We arrived in the village and
everybody gathered under a shed. They had some sort of ceremony that was cool. The
Fijian boys did a really cool dance. We went to sleep that not on the floors on
our mats. The first night of many village nights. sorry for the short post lol <o:p></o:p></div>

We started out early this
Sunday morning by eating our usual breakfast at 7, followed by church at 8.
Church was really cool because the sermon was really special. The lessons
spoken about involved using our gifts to help and benefit other people. It was
beyond cool to feel so welcomed into a church with strangers that felt like
family at the end of the service. Singing with the friendly Fijians was just
another way that showed their love and strong sense of community. Post church
we were given about 20 minutes to change and get ready for the days adventures.
Thank god I packed a rain jacket because it was my life-saver today. Our first
adventure to the first waterfall was sweet. We hiked up a friendly trail and
all of a sudden it started torrential down pouring. Everybody quickly stuffed
their cameras into backpacks, but the go pros were still out. Elizabeth was
filming herself saying, “here we are, roughing it in Fiji!” and she completely ate
it. Butt in the mud. On camera. Chase and I couldn’t help her up we were
laughing so hard. The day was full of people falling and slipping, but I
managed to keep my balance all day. This was very surprising because I’m
definitely the first person to fall down. the swam in the waterfall and Lisa
and Brett took pictures of us holding the Nat Geo Flag which was pretty cool.
We hiked back and hopped in the van to go to another waterfall. As soon as we
got out of the van, it started pouring AGAIN. The only thing I disliked about
the rain was the constant sense of worry I had about protecting my camera from
damage. We hid out under a roof for a while and ate lunch. Elizabeth ate it
again. We decided to still go on the hike. Luckily, we all put our camera bags
and phones in the van. The hike to the waterfall and back was a 3 hour
round-trip hike. This sounded terrible, but I’ve never been so glad I did
something in my life. It was the best and most rewarding hike I’ve ever been on
because of the people by my side and the waterfall at the end of the trip. On
the way there, Chase and I talked about absolutely anything and everything and
recounted all the stories of people falling that day. We laughed the entire way
there, and it felt so good to just laugh. We laughed so hard that Chase
actually had to stop to pee because he was about to pee himself. No lie.
Hahahahha. We crossed a really epic bridge and finally made it to the
waterfalls. Expecting any old waterfall, I had no idea what I was in for. When
we finally got there, I was slightly tired and had finally “dried off” well
enough to not want to fully submerge in the water. As soon as lisa whipped out
her Nat Geo Flag I was all in. everybody got in the water and swam against the
current toward the waterfall. It was one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.
Angie, one of the women of the village was there and she would climb up on the
rocks and dive into the water like a dolphin. She’s like a ball of joy and she
just straight up rocks. On the hike back, everyone fell down at least once but
I never did. For dinner we had some more fish and chicken. Mrs. Simon and I
fought over a wishbone and I won. Lucy had a rough day because she fell four
times and had a rash from wearing wet clothes. The rain didn’t stop us. My high
that day was the hike with Chase to the waterfall and I didn’t have a low.<o:p></o:p><br />

Lucy’s alarm woke us up at 6:30, which gave us enough time
to prepare for breakfast and the day ahead of us. We had a meeting where we
were given a little Fijian vocab sheet of words we used often like thank you
and hello and yes which have all escaped me at this point. Post breakfast, we
went over photography basics and finally we got to put our skills to the test.
We loaded up in our vans and headed over to this huge rugby event that was
happening on the island. Children’s’ teams from all over Fiji gathered here to
play. Taking pictures of Fijian rugby was cool, but my favorite subjects were
the little kids on the sidelines. At first I only interacted with the kids by
saying Bula. Some smiled, while others seemed kind of afraid. I learned that in
order to get the best interaction with the little kids I just had to smile
really big at them when I said bula and give them a friendly wave. Many of the
girls found so much entertainment in having their pictures taken and looking at
the result. It brought me joy to see how happy I could make them by simply
taking their picture. Having a handshake with a Fijian boy was pretty cool and
w<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Day two was filled with laughter. We’re going
to Fijian church tomorrow so that will be interesting. <o:p></o:p><br />

as probably my highlight of the day. He was a nug, and the smile on his face
after we blew up the knucks made me laugh. The kids were full of love and all
wanted to touch the camera. It was too much fun playing with them. Going to the
rugby games were not even part of our original plans; however, on trips like
these spontaneity is the way to go. All fun must come to an end. It started
raining, so we packed back up in the van and headed to a store to buy sulu’s so
we could be properly dressed for the village and church tomorrow. The low part
of my day had to be fitting in that bathroom in the store. It was cramped and I
couldn’t even lock the door. I thought Mrs. Simon was kidding when she came out
of the bathroom and said, “man, it takes skill to pee in there.” She was
definitely right. Once everyone had picked out their perfect sulu, we once
again shoveled ourselves back into the van and headed on our way to see some
waterfalls. It was flooding. I was so tired and so hot that I didn’t really mind
missing out on the hike and waterfall today. Surprisingly, one of my favorite
parts of the day was the time spent in the van. Several times in the van, I
laughed so hard that my stomach hurt. One of these laughing attacks occurred
when Holly Hartman adamantly tried to convince me that aliens are real. Don’t
ask her about it, she’ll give you a 20-minute “statistical” explanation. Another
thing that made me laugh in the van is when I said “ILY” to Alex and he thought
I was speaking Fijian because apparently he’s never heard that before. He still
refuses to say ILY back and opts to say “I-L-Y”. I think he lives under a rock,
but I love him anyways. When we arrived back at our bungalows, we gathered in
the eating hall to listen to the Nat Geo leaders, Lisa and Brett, share their
adventures through their photographs in slideshow presentations. I was amazed
at their creativity and truly inspired. The leaders’ presentation of their
photos was one of my favorite parts of the trip. Brett showed one photo of
Fijians beating/pounding a Kava root and asked us to guess what it was that
they were pounding. Of all things, Mrs. Simon guessed that they were pounding a
chicken. We died laughing. Dinner was a treat. We went to a nice restaurant,
and we got to try Kava for the first time. It honestly just tastes like dirty
water. I’ve never seen anyone down more Kava than Claire Siroky. You go girl.
The Fijians were gathered around a huge bowl of Kava while they sang and played
music on guitars. Singing Bob Marley songs with Fijians on mats on the floor
while surrounded by new welcoming friends and sharing endless laughter was
something I think I’ll never forget. Also, shoutout to Alex for whipping out a
harmonica during dinner like it was casual. </div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
We finally arrived in Fiji. Half of the group had to wait 7
or so hours for the next flight. I was part of the first half that had to
literally run to catch the connecting flight to the island that we were
staying. We landed, went through customs, claimed out bags, and ran. We had to
check in again and this time we had to weigh our bags and ourselves because the
plane was so small they had to make sure the weight was evenly distributed. We
then walked outside and walked on the runway to our small plane that had only 7
rows and small propellers instead of wings. Everybody had to hunch over in the
plane because it was so small. I laughed imagining my mom doing this. The
cockpit had no doors and it was cool to see the pilots at work and look out
their window in addition to my own. The ride to the island was only about an
hour and the views were amazing. Out the window, all I saw was green
everything. We flew over water and the water was teal! When we landed, all I
could see out the windows was palm trees everywhere. We got off and got our
bags off the runway. We loaded them up in a bus and took a short 10 minutes bus
ride to the little bungalows that we would stay in for the next few nights.
Given time to unpack, we settled down and rested up for a little while before
heading down the road to a small beach. At the beach, Chase helped me set up my
eno. Okay that’s a lie. I watched Chase set up my eno. He stacked mine on top
of his, which meant I had to climb into mine. Chase demonstrated the proper way
to climb into the top eno and made it look easy. This was no easy task.
Nevertheless, I made it into the top eno and turned around to see everybody’s
eyes on me because it was apparently quite the show. Chase and I talked all
about photography and Ms Hartman had me working on recruiting him for yearbook.
I see the next photography editor of 2017! All of the kids in our group ran and
jumped into the water with our leader Lisa. We all floated around in a circle
and shared stories of traveling adventures. It was cool to listen to Lisa
recount her adventures and all of her favorite places that she has been. It
speaks volumes about a person when they are telling a story and not a single
kid interrupts because of the gravity of her stories. When Lisa tells stories,
everybody shuts up. I think that’s really cool. For lunch, we ate in this
little restaurant with a beautiful view of the water and the food was dank. We
learned and listened all about the culture of Fijians and heard our Fijian
plans for the next two weeks. On our walk home we encountered many Fijian
people along the road. They are all very friendly and shout bula, which means
hello in Fijian. Finally the other half of the group arrived and we listened to
them tell stories and they were given an hour to unpack. We had a really long
orientation in which we played interesting warmer upper games to break the ice.
We talked a lot about the differences between what it meant to be a traveler vs
a tourist. Our Nat Geo leaders told us that the people in the village have
taken off work to prepare for our arrival. We are the first westerners to ever
live among them and stay with them. That’s pretty cool. Later we gathered in a
circle and talked about our goals and fears for the trip. Finally after all
this orientation we got to eat dinner. I cannot even recall the names of all
the food I tried because it was a buffet. The only familiar thing on my plate
was rice. Our bedtime was set for 10 but believe me I passed out at 9. What an
exhausting, but great first day. <o:p></o:p></div>
