Fiji: Days 4 & 5

My time here has continued to be filled with so many friendly Fijians.

Although the weather has been quite wet and windy, the heart of Fiji shines through the clouds with smiles and warm greetings. Every. Single. Moment.

The security guard at the post office. You'll notice that when I take photos of people their mouths are open. This is because instead of cheese, they are saying "Bula!"

These Fijian military men were telling me how they wanted to join Uncle Sam. The skirts they are wearing are very typical in Fiji and are called sulus.
