P-Day

 

There are three main roads on the island. Most sections are paved but the further you get from Nuku ‘alofa, the more primitive are the roads. The roads to the beaches are not marked, but we are figuring things out.

800 Young Single Adults from many islands are descending upon Camp Mekeke on Tongatapu this weekend. The last time a group came, they brought a (live) pig, and butchered it in the cafeteria fale before roasting it in a pit. I suggested to the Tiltons, who are the senior missionary caretakers at the camp, that they have a few cans of coke on hand to clean up the bloodstained concrete floors afterwards. (Coke also works well on corroded battery terminals, when your car won’t start.)
