I don't like the cold desert wind. I do like warm tropical breezes. The Peace Corps said "life is calling" and asked "how far will you go? Tonga", I answered. Monday, March 21, 2011. I'm a big fan of Tonga. Without skipping a Tongan beat to reply, I say 'malo' and silently say to self " show me the way to the spit roasted pig.". After all, a respectable feast must have at least one roasted puaka. Ofa lahi to the bride and groom. I'm a big fan. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Im a big fan ...

Two Coconuts: June 2009
http://asleson.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Our Peace Corps adventure in Tonga in the South Pacific. Sunday, June 28, 2009. It was my birthday on Friday, the first time I've had a "winter" birthday! Brett and I are just having another relaxing Sunday, not doing anything. It's a little overcast and cool out today. I have a few days of work this week, then go to Nuku'alofa on the main island for a volunteer advisory meeting for a few days. And it's almost the 4th of July, we'll have to figure out how to celebrate here. Posted by Kate and Brett.

Our Peace Corps adventure in Tonga in the South Pacific. Monday, May 10, 2010. A quick update, Brett and I decided to have our dog Lucky shipped over last month from Tonga! It was a long and complicated process, but she made it here and is adjusting to American life - leashes, dog food, toys, being indoors at night, colder weather, lots of attention from people, etc. and she's loving it. Thanks to all our friends still in Tonga that helped us with getting Lucky here! Posted by Kate and Brett. Travel log,...

...desertwinds/tropicalbreezes: Respect
http://desertwindstropicalbreezes.blogspot.com/2012/04/respect.html
I don't like the cold desert wind. I do like warm tropical breezes. The Peace Corps said "life is calling" and asked "how far will you go? Tonga", I answered. Thursday, April 12, 2012. The other day, I got a lift from one of my co-workers, a young man in his mid 20's. He's a genuinely nice person and as I asked if I could get a ride to do an errand, he replied, "You don't need to ask. Just get in, David.". What a beautiful way to learn a language. June 18, 2012 at 3:03 PM. Good morning how are you? John ...

If I could turn back time. Note: I wrote this over two months ago - it's as relevant now as it was then. I will get caught up eventually.]. If I could turn back time.I wouldn't change a thing. We are living with families who have given up their daily routine to take care of us, feed us and teach us the Tongan way of living.
