After the third plane, I was on the verge of tears at the thought of getting on another on. But I managed (not particularly well).
Getting into PNG was mind-blowing. I almost cried when I realized that I finally made it here. After investing so much of myself in getting to PNG, I am not finally here.
After getting off the final plane, I was meet with familiar faces and brought to the place where I'm staying. I got a shower and then went back for dinner. I hadn't even finished my burrito when I started having trouble keeping my eyes open.
I DID take the time to put a fitted sheet on before I passed out at 8pm.
At 6am, I was wide eyed and bushy tailed.
It was very odd to wake up with the realization that I am in Papua New Guinea. Walking into the kitchen, my leader asked me how I was. "i'm in PNG," I mumbled. "You're in PNG!" she exclaimed. And she hugged me.
I drank PNG coffee, breakfasted on little lemon poppy seed muffins. A pineapple was cut up and I am here to tell you that USA pineapples are nasty! I can not believe I liked those. PNG pineapples are the way to go!
I also ate passionfruit. Passionfruit tastes really good but it as the texture of monkey brain.
Ryan ate an ant right off of tree!
Now I'm in the PBT office.
There's a lot of traffic here. Always someone walking in or calling.
We're supposed to be going to the market soon. THAT'll be an experience.
isn't it strange how much better fruit tastes when it isn't genetically altered?? Love you, sweet girl
