We toured a clam farm yesterday, they also grow some native coral (it's everywhere) in the tanks. Pretty amazing creatures. Today we went back out to Eneko Island. One of our favorite activities here!
A couple of days ago we went to WAM where they make RMI outrigger canoes. They build small models all the way up to full size canoes. They help employ/train young adults in a 6 month program. There are not a lot of good economic opportunities in Majuro or anywhere in RMI.
We've also done a lot of walking around and shopping in dark, hot and poorly ventilated general stores. You can get everything from nearly expired food to wildly outdated and very expensive electronics. I saw an older Norelco electric razor in a yellowed package for only $289.00 USD. We have discovered pre-made canned coffee (usually from somewhere in South East Asia)…not too bad, who needs Starbucks!
I'm able to sneak away for a bit every now and then and photograph life around the island. - matt

Nevaeh has been enjoying seeing pictures of Esme. She has been asking to see more all of the time. I think Nevaeh knows where Esme is and wants to go so she can see her family too. I'm glad to see you all enjoying your time there. See you all soon.

We are all caught up now! We have been showing Melia pictures and reading some of the posts to her - not sure she understands, but she loves seeing the pictures.
Glad all is well - thanks for all of the beautiful pics - always love to see more!
Best,
Dave, Angie, and Melia
Boy does this all make me so smiley and weepy at the same time! What an amazing experience for your family - so glad Esme can experience this! And Baby Lucia just seems to get cuter by the photo! Thinking of you guys...
