each year on may 1st, RMI celebrates their constitution day. the day started with a parade of students from each of the many schools, followed by several speakers from many different countries at a ceremony held in front of the government building. then the best part of all was the music & dancing. there were literally hours of shows put on, on stage in front of the water. it's always really fun to watch all the kids sing & dance (something that is done all the time here) and we love the music. it's such an important part of their culture.
this year was the 30th anniversary of their constitution. we ended the night by watching a fireworks show over the water (lit off of a large yacht out in the lagoon). it was so beautiful and all the marshallese kids yelled "yeaaaaa" each time one went off.
