Warren, our tour guide for the next few days, started our tours off by taking us to the lava fields of the last major eruption here in 1906. They were pretty cool. Huge plains covered in volcanic rock, all the way to the ocean – about 1 ½ miles from the road. Reminded me of the lava fields my family went to in Idaho way back when.
We went over to a site where volcanic activity had destroyed a church and there are just the remains of it left. It was getting so hot then, though, that I wasn’t paying much attention to what Warren was saying about it…oops.Tours made for a pretty full day. We’re practicing our fiafia songs every night. The fiafia is like a goodbye celebration the village has for us – apparently it’s a big deal. So we’re practicing for it each night. No one likes the practice tho lol.
One thing I don’t like is that we can’t snack here. We have lunch at 12 then dinner isn’t until 8pm some nights. So late. And I usually snack all the time, so I’m always hungry. Oh well.

Why can't you snack?
there just wasn't any food available to eat in between meals. no fruit, wasn't anything in the kitchen besides the meals prepared...it sucked. they just don't snack. so we all starved in between meals lol.
