Aloha Kakahiaka (good morning)!

It's Saturday morning here in Kona. Last night they had an official welcoming ceremony for all the new students which included hula, fire dancing, rappers, breakdancing, and several other dance presentations representing some of the different nations represented by students here. It was very cool. Sam was especially into the breakdancers and Katie of course loved the hula dancing.

We are settling into our new home pretty well. We have discovered that we are sharing our room with several families of cockroaches and geckos. That takes a little getting used to. The heat is also a little hard to adjust to as well. It has been in the 90's with quite a bit of humidity and doesn't seem to cool down that much at night. Since our room does not have air conditioning, we all take cold showers right before bed to try to sleep easier.

We miss everyone. Aloha!
