Two nights down. I have to get back to the "compound" by 9am, so I don't have much time to write. I wanted to let everyone know that I am doing well. Last night I started to get a little sad, but am going strong. Accessing the Internet helps, I don't fell so far away.
Here is a little bit about where I am staying. I am living near the airport and about a 15 min. cab ride to downtown. I am living in a trailer with 15 other people and all of our things. There is air conditioning that makes the room about 10 degrees, but when you have been in the hot humid air all day it is okay. There are a lot of contrasts between the amenities that we are given. For example we have to bucket shower out doors and there are only two showers for 45 people! On the other hand lunch and dinner are catered by a REALLY nice restaurant. (There is no skim milk on the whole island!) I am planning to fly to Hawaii for milk! (not really, but I want to. 1000 dollars for milk MIGHT be silly)
Yesterday I went snorkeling and found Nemo! No joke! The "Nemo" fish is only found near the Marshall Islands. It was great. I am very excited to go again. (thanks Dad and Lisa for the gear)
I have to get back, but will write soon.

Hi, Katie --
Glad to hear things are going pretty well! What's with the hot and humid weather? I thought you told me it was the 'perfect climate'...but be thankful for the 10 degree a/c. Keep us posted on what's going on!

P.S. Say 'hello' to Nemo for me.
So Glad you arrived and doing well. Your Mom is doing fine. We are looking forward to reading this daily. I have Majuro weather on my computer at work, it makes me feel like I'm keeping track of something. Ha!
