Arriving in the Cook Islands

We were greeted at airport with beautiful flower eis. We spent the day getting oriented to the island, our project, our hotel, and each other. Barbara sorted out her communications and we did some housekeeping. We enjoyed a nice visit to the town and walked back to the hotel. Time was spent relaxing and enjoying the beach for the first time. Barb can scramble over coral rocks easily in her flip flops. No mossie bites to date (that we know of). Enjoyed our first catered dinner together and developed our Vaca goals. James is an amazing leader and a gracious host to us. We are looking forward to our first day at school.

Message of the Day: “Although the black pearl is small, it is a special gem.”
