Great…just what I wanted to hear. But, really, we are preparing for Bopha and should be fine. The elementary school, the academy, and Koror SDA Church are all on the high ground. The buildings are all cement block walls and have cement roofs.
This track is more southerly than previously expected and “has greatly diminished the threat of damaging winds at Faraulep,” according to the National Weather Service in Guam. Bopha is expected to continue on a west-northwesterly track, with its center passing very close to the island of Palau on Oct. 2.

Well, we didn’t actually go on an actual tour but I guess we did tour around Tokyo. I might tell you about some of the pictures sometime, but not tonight. I am just going to start the upload and then head for bed.
Enjoy the pictures.
Itadakimasu!
So we are going to be leaving Koror and driving over to Airai to the Koror airport. We will be taking off for Guam at about 2am. From there it is on to Narita airport just outside Tokyo. It should be a very relaxing trip for the both of us. We should be arriving there soon after 9am. Since we are already in the Tokyo Timezone there thats only 12 hours from now. So with only a little over 7 hours of travel time expected, this should feel like a nice quick trip for us.
Anyway, I’m going to go now and try and figure out how to get from Narita into our hotel: Hotel Villa Fontaine – Ueno.
Expect to see more posts once we get there. But just in case, be prepared to be disappointed until we return.
So there was a Pathfinder campout up at PMA this weekend. We were there for two nights. There was rain and there was sun. We had about 50 kids come and just about a dozen staff were there. It was pretty intense with all the food being cooked over fires.
Be on te lookout for a post with some pictures later this week.
Lets see….a list of good things.
1. My hair will go into a pony tail now! This is exciting for me! It needs some help but with the bobby pins but it’s getting there.
2. I made black beans yesterday that had to be soaked overnight. I’m always impressed when I do this. It seems like a lot of work for black beans.
3. My dog walks amazingly with her new training color. I think I have the smartest dog in Palau. She get’s fixed on Monday.
3. My shower has no mold in it finally!!!! My lovely husband scrubbed it and then bleached the shower curtain and threw the curtain in the washing machine. I had no idea you could do this. He is such a smarty pants!!!
4. My sunburn is finally gone from my back and shoulders.It was the worst burn on my life I think. I had these teeny tiny blisters all over my back days before it peeled. I hope everything is o.k with my back in the future……….sorry Mom. I failed with the sunscreen that day.
5. We got a new AC in the living room. It works without having to set the timer button. Before, we would have to set the timer meaning we had to wait a minimum of 1 hour before it would kick on. FIXED!!!
6. I’m rereading Steps to Christ and it is an amazing book. Many blessings from that, that’s for sure.
7. My student’s made me laugh today. It was a good teaching day.
8. I finally understand the difference between who vs. whom and successfully taught my students.
9. The school board really wants to see me at the elementary school next year, possibly 2nd grade which would be really fun for me!!!!!!!!!!!
10. I got a candle that smells like cookies and it is nice. Candles make me feel like I’m living in the States again. Very homey.

A day trip. We paid to go to Palau’s 5-star resort. It was definitely worth it. We will be going again. Maybe even once a month.

Here are some pictures we have taken since we got back to Palau after our trip to Hawaii. We went to a “park” here in town with our dog Daisy Pearl and she had a blast. It started to rain so it cut the trip short, but not short enough. Daisy ran all over the place while it was raining, actually, torrents of water were pouring from the sky. It was still nice.
The other pictures are on various days when our dog needed her picture taken.
The sunset and the subsequent pictures were all taken this evening.
The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog. A little late to get this reposted, but I think you might find it interesting. I know I did.
Here’s an excerpt:
A San Francisco cable car holds 60 people. This blog was viewed about 2,200 times in 2011. If it were a cable car, it would take about 37 trips to carry that many people.
