We've spent the last week adjusting and catching up on school. Katherine and I took an early morning drive last weekend with coffee and big CD case full of music (yes, I know CDs are old fashioned) to accompanying us. We waited only a few minutes at Komibo, on the western end of Guadalcanal, before we discovered a speck on the horizon.
The smooth seas made it easy to watch the speck grow, but I didn't think it was some of our favorite people since Aaron hadn't called yet. He can usually pick up the signal from about thirty minutes away. It WAS them! Our one and only phone tower in the eastern Russell Islands had been down for a couple of weeks, and the tower on this end of Guadalcanal was also down, that's why I hadn't heard anything.
Belza is always such a good driver, and I brought some coconut scrolls, hard boiled eggs, and watermelon as a thank you to these guys who left so very early on a Saturday morning. After a trip to the facilities in the tall grasses along the beach, we were ready to drive back to Honiara, reunited and thankful for a smooth trip.
