The Real Fiji











Today we woke up at 5:30 only to discover that there was absolutely no water in our house. Of course that means no shower and no flushing toilets, which is literally stinky. On the plus side however ….it also means no washing dishes! It’s kind of funny to think that we are living in the most modern city in Fiji and on a normal basis we lose power and water…. but it is true. So pray we can get water soon….other wise it will be a smelly situation.

Last weekend we took a day and went to the closest beach to Suva, Pacific Harbor. On the hour long drive to get there, we saw the villages that most of the population lives in. Here are a couple pictures of the villages. One incredible cool village we saw was built into a hillside.
