We learn how to live in the village


Other than building relationships with our new friends on Ambrym, our main job now is learning learning learning.

(Hint on the Smileboxes below - many have the option of clicking to zoom in on pictures and for the ones with multiples on a page, that's kinda the only way you can see what's going on in them.)

How to plant a garden Vanuatu-style:
 We bought seeds in Vila before going to Ambrym.  Once on Ambrym, we asked around about where we could plant them for our own garden.  The village had a meeting to decide where we should put our garden.  Everyone's work on the islands is subsistence farming and with it being tropical they know how to make it work for year-round.  Their way of having us plant was very different than planting in the US.  Totally different soil, rain, weather, everything.
