Bula! Hello and Welcome in Fijian. You hear and say that at least 50 times a day.
Fiji is great, but their internet connection is not so the posts from here won't be many.
We've been here three days now and we all love it. What's not to love! Sandy beaches, super friendly people, great food and lots of fun things to do. We've taken trips to a Fiji school, a village where they taught us to make pottery and served Kavu, which is a drink that tastes a little bit like dish water. The villagers fell in love with Bob and served him 7 cups! Your tongue gets a little numb and I've heard you can get hallucinations. So far he seems fine but I'm keeping an eye on him.
We also went to a beach that has been voted the sexiest beach in the world. With three kids in tow, we wouldn't know but it was very beautiful:)
We have seen fire walking which is an old Fijian tradition.
The kids have made friends with a lot of Australian kids and we met a very nice family that we have spent a lot of time with. Last night the kids disco while the parents had colorful umbrella drinks.
Life is good!!

Hey guys,
This is Uncle Jimbo and the gang. We love the Fiji pictures. Just how many lizards can Nick fit on his head? We love the girls hair. Stina, did you go that too? Give Bob some more of that dirty dishwater. We want to see what he will do next!!!
Keep in touch. We miss you.. Have FUN!!!!!!!!!!!
Stina, I'm so glad that you're blogging! Fiji looks like paradise! Missing you but glad to be able to share in your adventure! Janet
hello cowan family.wanted to give you an update on spring here in the continental united states. today is the first full day of spring and your chance of seeing the first robin of spring is past since fiji is a day ahead of us. although those lizards looked very colorful. did you get to talk to the locals about how land ownership is given out? if i remember correctly each father divides his land evenly between his number of sons. the younger generations thou want to live down in the cities and it is causing some sadness among the elders of the tribes. we had met a very nice fijian woman who explained the cultures a bit. a great lesson for the kids would be to look for the southern cross in the night sky. i think it is only out during the spring and summer months. i'm enjoying the trip love pat ps i was showing april the blog and we signed her on but just noticed it came up under her name well we'll straighten it out later.
