Our New Home

Well looks like we made it. After we moved to Vanuatu, we thought, heck as long as we're on the edge of the earth we might as well go closer to the edge but not fall off. So we moved from the main island of Efate, to the second most populated island called Espiritu Santo, of Santo for short. Its actually physically the largest island and has the only other 'town' in the country "Luganville". People who live here end up saying they live in Santo rather than Lugaville, probably because its shorter and easier to say.

Here is a linke with a map of the island [the link has been moved to links section. just look to your right]. I like this map because it has the names of all the villages - sort of makes the place look like there are cities everywhere! Luganville is at the bottom of the map beside the international airport marker. Of course on this map it looks like the airport is far out of town, and I guess it is. It must be almost a 10 minute drive out of town.

Perhaps our biggest change in coming here is that we now have an internet connection at our house! Yes, its even a 'high speed" connection. Its not as fast as most western highspeed, but considering where we are it's pretty darn good!

I've been trying to google a Luganville town map but there is nothing reasonable on the web. There is a hand painted map in town I'll go take a photograph of it and post it tomorrow.

Until then here is a map of the whole country. Enjoy!
