I left for the Raleigh airport at 4am Friday Raleigh time. I
flew Raleigh to Houston, which was about 2 hours. Then Houston to Honolulu was
an 8 hour flight, and Honolulu to Guam was a 7 hour flight. We had a long
layover in Guam, and then flew to Yap, then to Palau. I didn’t sleep much, but
I did read the vast majority of the Hunger Games series, plus watched some
shows. I stayed entertained, but it was a long 33 hours of travel.
We got to Palau right after midnight on Sunday Palau time.
Palau is 13 hours ahead of Eastern Time. Then through customs and finally to
the motel/apartments where we’re staying. Even though it was dark I could tell
this place is amazing. The lobby of our apartment complex is in a jungle.
Honestly, it’s incredible.
So then I finally got some sleep, at 4am Sunday Palau time.
Go figure.
Palau is amazing. It’s absolutely beautiful. The tropical
forests and flowers are gorgeous, as is the water. Just incredible.

Today a big group of us took a long walk to the closest
beaches around. We first walked to a park, then on to a beach. It was a far
walk, but entirely worth it. The beach was beautiful and the water was so
clear.

So I don’t have too much to say now- no big exciting stories
or grand observations. I got some pictures today, but I just can’t wait to take
more. I’m also excited about starting our archaeological dig, which we will be
doing on Wednesday. We do have to pay for internet here, so I probably won’t be
on too much. But I’ll update my blog when I can!
