The ferry came in, at 6 a.m. this morning. It left Nuku’alofa last night, at about 6 p.m. It comes once a week.
The harbor at Pangai is very quiet.
Today, a a new ambulance was delivered to the hospital. Everyone came out to the road to watch it drive the 1.5 km from the harbor. It’s light were flashing, and it’s siren was blaring. It was the social event of the summer, I think.
Yesterday, when Luisa drove us to the restaurant from the clinic, she never got above 15 km per hour (that’s 10 mph.) People on Ha’apai live life at a much more relaxed pace.
The shipping crates made me think about our crates that are now on their way to Tonga.
