It’s definitely rainy season on the atoll. The rain has been almost non-stop for what seems like weeks now. Rain on the island ranges anywhere from drizzle throughout the day to a downpour for several hours! The fresh water the rains bring are necessary on an island surrounded by nothing but salty ocean, but enough is enough, and a little sunshine here and there never hurts. We were lucky yesterday to be able to complete our treasure hunt between rains, although it was awfully humid as we trudged through the jungles of Roi-Namur hunting for pirate booty. But today, I was really excited to see clear, blue skies, so I pulled the boys away from their new birthday treasures to go for a swim and get some much needed vitamin D from the sunshine! :) It’s truly amazing how just an hour or two in the sun can raise your mood as well as your calcium absorption rate. :) Swimming was the perfect way to get some exercise and spend our last day on Roi for a few weeks, and it broke up our relaxing day of reading and playing games in our rooms. Gotta love the sun! It’s part of why we love living on this rock we can an atoll!
