Wilson and the empty restaurant
Wilson decides against lunch in this place, and heads up the street instead…

(I am gone for a while, and will not be responding to comments right away. But make some anyway, if you feel inclined, and I’ll get back to you – it just won’t be right away.)
The lurker
I am sure there’s nothing sinister going on here…but still, that woman lurking in the bus shelter and looking toward the couple with the baby carriage seems to be up to no good.

I’m off at summer camp this week. Sort of. At any rate, it may take me a few days to respond to comments. But I will get to them. I promise. (As soon as I write that letter home, telling everyone what a terrible time I’m having at camp…)
The only way it works is to not look down
You can – even from this angle – see the concentration on the face of the slack line walker as he feels his way along the rope with his toes.

The end was near?
I don’t know – maybe it’s just me, but the sight of the street-side prophet wearing a safety vest struck me as quite an entertaining sight.

Bus girl
The main town on the island of Taveuni is Somosomo Village; it’s known as a chiefly town, a designation indicating the residence of a chief who has descended from the traditional rulers of this part of the island. Somosomo Village has most of the island’s commerce, a school or two, and the transit center. Buses needing to make transfers at the center back into the dirt parking lot from the main road, which lets them pull straight out into traffic.
Our friendly guide Sepo told us that very few islanders have seen both the northern and southern ends of the island; the road’s not paved the entire way, and travel is costly. Instead, villagers from the ends of the island come to Somosomo Village once or twice a month to shop, then go back home. Sepo himself first made the trip all the way to the northern end of the island only a few years ago. (To put it into perspective, the island is less than 30 miles long.)
I spotted this little girl on the open-air bus that was headed south from the transit center.
