Life in Canaan

Living in Canaan for a week to run a sewing workshop was very special. Here are some snapshots of our experience of life in Canaan.

The leaf house we stayed - bathed in dawn's first light.

Those are actually waves in the background - there are very few of them in the happy isles.

There's always plenty of pikinini playing.

White sand streets.

Youth or older, every evening almost every man plays soccer as the sun sets.

Everyone else watches.

Watching the canoes coming in...

But always ready with a quick smile.

These boys spent the entire afternoon riding the waves on their dugout canoes.

And the sun goes down (still surfing!)
