Fiji Day 26

So 5:00am up and going, went out got some breakfast, then once we could see a little bit we headed out into the field with cane knives, shovels and bags of pineapple plants. The first big task was clearing out the grass, it is about 5 feet tall and we had to clear an area of about 20 square yards. So we got to work, some would stomp on the grass, then we would cut a line, and starting uprooting from there. Because of the rain the night before it ended up going fast to use the cane knives less and just pull up the grass. Normally you cant do that because the ground is too dry and hard. So we do that and it takes us until about 8:00 to clear everything, then the group gets split in half so that some could work on the chicken coop. Kimmy, Josh Ong, a Giovanni and I stayed in the field though. I dug holes, a 1yrd radius, put them into rows. After a few hours of planting we were finished, then I went and helped Thomas and tyler finish the wiring around the chicken coop. After that we showered, got our stuff together and headed to our hotel. We stayed at tokatoka across from the airport. It was nice to have an actual bed, air conditioning ect. For dinner we all went out for pizza. After dinner Josh O, Giovanni and I went to the grocery store and bought ice cream. Took it back to the room and chowed down, it was great. Watched some random soap opera based in Australia. Then we all met up in the other boys room for poetry night. We all shared our poems, then I went back to the room, ate more icecream and went to bed.
