This was a pretty good spot, but my photos are lacking and we didn’t stay long because of the flies. They were driving me crazy!

Subject: Exodus – Langosta
Langosta, Langoste, I don’t know the word in Tongan, but in any language lobsters are yummy! We are currently anchored off a sand spit between two very small islands called Uonukuhihito and Uonukuhahake (yeah, you try to pronounce them!) It is an amazing spot, and I think the picturesque wow factor as we pulled up was second only to when we first arrived on the eastern side of the lagoon in Raroia (The Tuamotus, French Polynesia). Yesterday Tim and Jack dinghied a few miles south to an island called Limu, and they came back with a huge treat. Six fat lobsters, two large tunas, and a rainbow runner for good measure. Needless to say, we ate quite well last night. After spending so many days ashore on Uoleva, the boys were a bit burned out, and after school all they wanted to do was watch a movie. I couldn’t even entice them to go ashore with me to see the cows that were wandering about. Yeah, two small uninhabited islands connected by a sand spit, and OF COURSE there are cows. I don’t see them now, so hopefully when I go ashore in a bit they will leave me alone.
Love and miss you all,
-D.
