Its official we're KWAJers.

Beth and I stopped by a Kwaj Patio PCS Sale today, otherwise known as a garage or moving sale in the states, and we worked out a great deal for a Surf Board and a Kayak. I am very excited about learning how to surf with my own board. We also picked up a pull cart to haul anything from mail to groceries on our bikes.

So I think it is official we are now KWAJers. How do I know this well as Edgar Schein would say, "The culture of a group can now be defined as a pattern of shared basic assumptions that was learned by a group as it solved its problems of external adaptation and internal integration, that has worked well enough to be considered valid and, therefore, to be taught to new as the correct way to perceive, think, and feel in relation to those problems." I think this definition for culture of group does a nice job of describing why somethings are the way they are here on Kwaj.
Another good news story is that our household goods arrived yesterday so we are working on getting our potted plants together. One can generally tell how long you have been on the island by the size and number of plants in one's yard. Since top soil can't be found on island it becomes a hot commodity.

They are only allowed to sell two bags per visit to the store if they even have it. Fortunately we just got a new shipment so I'll let you know how the plants are doing as we get them situated.
