Tonga Scenery

1 comments
After all my searching on the internet, I came across these photos of Tonga, taken by Paul Todd of New Zealand. These are by far the best group of photos I've found of my new home and they really make me wish it was October already.

Paul was nice enough to let me post these photos on here, so please check out his website, he has so many other cool pictures. Visit Outside Images now!

If you want to see the pictures a little larger, view the slideshow here.

Okay, so a huge developments since my last post. I am not going to be doing agriculture and environmental education, instead I will be teaching ESL and doing community development work. But wait, even bigger news; I'm not going to Africa. I got a call on Monday from a new placement officer with what he called "some really exciting news," I'm going to the Kingdom of Tonga in the South Pacific. Hell yeah!



So anyways, if you want to check out some cool facts on the islands, have at it and follow the following links:

CIA - The World Factbook - Tonga

Tonga - Lonely Planet
Tonga - Wikipedia


I'm leaving October 2 October 1 for staging in LA and then after two days heading off to my new home. Needless to say, I'm stoked for 27 months of island life.

SO, it's official, they finally updated my status in their system. The last email I got from the Peace Corps was June 4, so this is exciting stuff kids. Okay, so now we play a new waiting game, 'The Invite...'
