Tonga creatures




While driving around there was never a time where we didn't see pigs, kids, or dogs. They are everywhere. And, thankfully, not one of them came in contact with the car.

The first picture you see is of pigs. I want to say they were cute, but they were just so wimpy looking. I never really saw a big, fat pig. The roasted pigs at the feasts were probably not more than 80 pounds.

The second picture is of spiders who have made their webs in power lines. These spiders are huge. Luckily I never saw one up close.

The final picture is of flying foxes, AKA bats. Creepy. One night we were out they were flying around. Pretty big.

I'll later post a picture of one of the cockroaches found in Sarah's room. I never had a cockroach in my room.

Tonga Travels





I have talked with so many people about Tonga, I guess it is time to post something. I will be getting more pictures this week, but here are a couple to quench your thirst of the South Seas.

The first picture is of the temple.

The second picture is taken of the beach where a stake president owns 700 acres. This was where we had a feast and later that evening a baptism of a mother and her 4 girls was held in the ocean. This was a beautiful sight.

The next picture is of some blowholes. Again, I love the color of the water coming in. It really did look like this.

Then you see an aerial view. I don't know what island, but I love the colors you see. It is so beautiful.
