8-26-08 It’s Tuesday, and I’m in the middle of free period right now—Emily’s let me use her computer so that I can try to get some Internet-y things done in between classes. When there’s too many people on, it slows down something awful. More bearable than having no Internet, I imagine. I am quite happy to be keeping this blog!
Our (mine and Emily’s) first day here was the Thursday we arrived on the island hopper flight, along with Ryan, our principal. We were escorted by the Kwaj Police to the dock and sat around, waiting for the ferry. Ryan bought us food from the “American Eatery”, which is basically a Burger King with rice and various other foods—and much cheaper than anything here on Ebeye. We sat there, sort of in a stupefied daze (because of the time-hopping), meeting the other teachers who’d ridden out on the ferry to meet us. The ferry is a US government ship thing that looks like a landing craft straight off the shores of Normandy. It takes about half an hour to get to Ebeye (which does have more than two trees, thank you very much!)
Well, I’ve got to head to class. More later.

It's great to be reading your blogg. It brings back such great memories for me.
Have you tried the Marshallese donuts yet? They are best fresh and hot!...mmmmmmm. I ate lots of frozen veggies. They are cheaper then fresh. Glad to hear Triple J's is still there. They do relatively good food...the best on Island anyway.
Post any pictures if you can.
