Hallie also took some fun shots of her time NE of us, in the furthest village of our language group. Ian, our Aussie Builder friend (see my BuildAid page/tab) has been working the last year or so in that area building a classroom, school office, and teacher house.

The remaining pictures are back in and around our village.

Oh boy, here below you get to see my "Vanuatu matching" as I jokingly call it with Gretchen. I'm feeling pretty excited that she's decided to join me in "Vanuatu matching" sometimes more recently in the village now too. The kids always "Vanuatu match" and think US matching rules are ridiculous. Usually I'll muster some US level matching when going to Vila, which we were here, but apparently I didn't care much this day...
