Sailin' Away in Tonga













Well..... I am long overdue for posting these pictures from our Tonga trip.

As most of you know we went sailing in March with a bunch of friends.... Ann, Bear, Pete and Toby to be exact. We had a blast snorkeling, visiting the islands and of course relaxing. For ten days the six of us sailed around the many, many islands that make up the Kingdom of Tonga. For those of you who have never heard of Tonga... it is in the South Pacific, near Fiji. As you can see from the picture above the sunsets were beautiful.

While we were there we visited two remote villages. Geoff enjoyed playing with the dogs on the islands. Which there were many of.... there were lots of dogs and pigs running around. It was also not uncommon to see children playing with machetes.... for real!!! One day while we were all taking a bike ride, Bear and I were chased by a kid with a machete.


Thanks Mr. Bear for taking these amazing pictures...
