Katchafire

Surprise surprise, our trip to Beqa fell through. It was okay though - this morning was spent roaming around the market picking up strange things. Like a big bucket of clams. And a pile of what look like oversized lima beans, but are supposed to taste like peanuts if you roast them with salt. Nichole and I bought a couple of giant clams (okay, so they're small giant clams, like the size of half a football) that we'll play around with later this weekend. I got another soursop. Then we hung around for the afternoon before heading off at night to a Bob Marley tribute concert. The band was Katchafire, a reggae band from New Zealand.

Sitting around waiting for the band to show up. Luckily we didn't get there too early so we didn't have to hang out for a long time before the music started. There were a ton of white people there! It was strange, and we couldn't figure out where they all came from until we walked by the parking lot and saw vans from a lot of local resorts that must have transported all of them to Suva.

The band was sweet, and the concert was a lot of fun - the crowd seemed like they knew all of their songs and was really into it. They only played a few Bob Marley songs though, which was a little disappointing given that it was supposed to be a tribute concert...it was a great time anyways though.

By the time we got back I was feeling very tired and needed to pass out - I think being sick is making me revert back to my 12-hours-of-sleep-a-day habits, which I'm not happy about. We're leaving tomorrow to stay at a place in Pacific Harbour for the night before going on our dive, so I need to figure that out...
