National Museum and Custom Houses

Today's assignment for "Where in Honiara...?" was to visit the Solomon Islands' National Museum and Custom Houses. The Museum shelters many artifacts like red feather money used for bride price and a huge canoe (you can still see the marks from the hand that carved it). In addition, we viewed many pictures showing what life in the Solomons was like one hundred years ago.
Outside, we viewed nine different houses representing each of the provinces in the Solomons. Some of the houses were big...

... and some were small.

Aaron fits right in here in the Solomon Islands!
