My 23rd birthday was spent loading my belongings into a truck, travelling to Butmas and drinking a large bucket of Kava, marking my arrival and new habitation in the village. One year later I am transitioning out of the village and spending the fourth of July in a much more tradionally American manner. Melanie's Mother had sent two packages of patriotic decorations and so Melanie went about planning a birthday BBQ over the past week. It was a good time with a bunch of volunteers who happened to be in Santo at a workshop and especially wonderful to spend it with Melanie before she leaves for Japan.
