Many have asked me, what is it like in the Marshall Islands? The Marshallese people are very friendly. The men wear long shorts or pants and t-shirts. The women wear long dresses with sleeves. Women do not wear shorts or tank tops here. It is very hot! It feels like 102 degrees each day with the humidity. It cools down in the evening to about 85 degrees. I am getting used to the heat. Most public buildings and homes are not air conditioned. We are fortunate to have air at our lawyer's home. There is no fast food like McDonalds, Burger King, Arby's, etc. All the restaurants are sit down except for a roadside barbeque stand. We did order some food from the grocery store deli and they had a few booths so we sat down to eat. Kyra loves eating "bouw" which is chicken. She was excited the deli had chicken nuggets. I enjoyed a soy bean cheeseburger. Rick had pizza. There is no Meijers, Wal-mart, etc. You go to separate stores for what you need. Some stores don't have signs. You just walk in and see what they are selling. The pictures are examples of some of the restaurants and store fronts.
