Tonga!

Saturday, April 19th

We did some laundry and cleaned the house this morning so that we could go back to the beach this afternoon. We went to a different beach today and collected entirely different kinds of shells. When we got home I put the white ones in a bleach solution and after a day or two they are supposed to come out beautifully white. We’ll see. Some of them were pretty dirty. The rest of them I put in a container and put it in the sun. Some of the shells still had creatures in them and if they are left in the heat, the creatures crawl out and then the shell can be cleaned.

Once we got cleaned up, we went out to dinner tonight. It was the farewell dinner for the Johnson’s, they will be going home next week. We held it at the Cottage Breeze, a small café right on the beach. It turned out really nice, the food was good and the company was great. It was a fun evening.
