And that has made all the difference

The Road Not Taken, by Robert Frost

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference."

Went to see where the hospital is, found the hospital and an amazing view.

At The Black Rock, a mini lagoon.

Nikao beach, the closest one to me.

My home, Tiare Village

Things i have done so far in Rarotonga (3 days in):

- biked around 

- went to the Saturday market, got pulled up into a dance contest, won a prize (a cultural island night with traditional ceremonies, shows, food)

- met and talked to lovely people

- went to watch a jet take off at the airport (live 500 meters away from it)

- got asked twice if i was alright by the locals during a long walk (nobody walks here).

- met a volunteer doctor from the hospital who assured me i would have a great time but i would just have to relax and take it easy in the Cook Islands time 

- got eaten alive by mosquitoes, repeatedly.

I live in paradise.
