back from Santo

We are crazily trying to tie things up since we arrived in Vila, Efate 3 hours ago.on our return flight from Luganville on Espiritu Santo island.

Karl quickly unloaded his suitecase and headed out with the driver to make a check on the two churches they had completed while we were on Tanna a week ago.  I took his cloths down the hill to launder.  Everything was wet and/or muddy, not enough consecutive hours between rain showers to dry anything while we were on Santo and no washing facilities that would at least spin out some of the moisture!  The clothing he wore yesterday was simply embedded with mud, and there had been no time, nor did it make sense to make them more wet rinsing them out last night... they were going to be packed wet in a plastic bag reguardless.  I have a few things written and photos lined up to post.  We will see how things get pulled together before bedtime, I might get one or two posted.... We will see how it goes. 

We are ready to return home (and get dry).  There is so much more we could have done here, and the ni-Van have been so welcoming... we really wouldn't have minded staying longer.  But now the time is up, so we look at the positive side and are rather happy to be heading home in less than 12 hours.
