IMG_0360 Date: 08/19/2007 U.S. Postal Service ala Kwaj
IMG_0361 Date: 08/19/2007 Hospital....see, I wasn't kidding. They painted "HOSPITAL" on there to help you out.
IMG_0362 Date: 08/19/2007 A view to the side of the hospital showing the ocean side of the island. This street is appropriately named "Ocean Road."
IMG_0363 Date: 08/19/2007 Another view from Ocean Road. See the wind blowing in the palm trees? Yes, that is a VERY VERY GOOD THING. :) However, it does make bike riding a challenge in the wrong direction.
IMG_0364 Date: 08/19/2007 Snack bar and bank....nope, I'm not kidding. The snack bar has VERY WRONG flavors of Baskin Robbins' ice cream once in a Kwaj moon, and otherwise it is frozen items, like chicken nuggets, warmed up, or another island and military favorite....pulled pork.
IMG_0365 Date: 08/19/2007 One of our two open-air movie theaters. You might call it a "Bike-In,"
IMG_0366 Date: 08/19/2007 Our A-roof, open-air military chapel, offering a variety of services for different faiths. Thankfully, there are fans always running.
IMG_0367 Date: 08/19/2007 The two scientists by the communication dishes, about the only kind of dishes they have here on the island. This is one of Mark's favorite pictures. :)

IMG_0369 Date: 08/19/2007 Fresh coconuts, anyone?
IMG_0370 Date: 08/19/2007 Mark standing by the building where he works.
IMG_0371 Date: 08/19/2007
IMG_0372 Date: 08/19/2007 Turtle pond where Crush and Squirt from Nemo (huge sea turtles) live and let us feed them. If you can pronounce the bottom portion of this sign, you can speak Marshallese! Yokwe Yuk!
IMG_0373 Date: 08/19/2007
IMG_0374 Date: 08/19/2007 My 4 fellow castaways
IMG_0375 Date: 08/19/2007 Look what sassy fish washed up on the shore....
IMG_0376 Date: 08/19/2007
IMG_0381 Date: 08/19/2007 Our little fair-skinned poster child for sun-protective wear. We are making all of the sun-protection clothiers very happy with all of our online orders.
IMG_0382 Date: 08/19/2007 Coral is abundant...just don't get scraped by some, because Staph infections are easy to get here, and coral scrapes are often the culprit.
IMG_0383 Date: 08/19/2007 She wears these more than her glasses these days.
IMG_0449 Date: 08/28/2007 OH...look...someone has come to rescue us, Gilligan!
IMG_0454 Date: 08/28/2007 An island in the distance
IMG_0432 Date: 08/25/2007 At low tide, you can walk across the coral (in good protective shoes) to the island 1 mile away.
IMG_0388 Date: 08/22/2007 No more carseats but still plenty of fighting in the backseat. :)
IMG_0394 Date: 08/23/2007 A Kwaj sunset....truly, there is nothing like it.
IMG_0401 Date: 08/23/2007
IMG_0476 Date: 09/07/2007 We later upgraded her bicycle because these small wheels didn't get her very far very fast when riding the 3/4 mile one-way to preschool.
IMG_0426 Date: 08/25/2007 Christopher by the reef at North Point at low tide
IMG_0427 Date: 08/25/2007 Look out for the Tour de Kwaj! Eat your heart out, Lance Armstrong!
IMG_0402 Date: 08/24/2007 Again, the reef across the street from our house
IMG_0414 Date: 08/24/2007 David is pondering, while mid-pacifier-suck, about maybe growing out the hair so he can have some red dreadlocks for his new slow pace of life. Ya, mon!
