Sokehs Ridge & Nahlap

This past weekend my fellow volunteers and I headed to Nahlap Island Resort located about two miles south of Pohnpei. We took a boat ride out to the island and stayed there for the day. I got to go sea kayaking and snorkeling. The reef was beautiful the water is really clear and I got to see some beautiful fish. On Sunday we got to hike Sokehs Ridge which overlooks all of the north side of Pohnpei. It was absolutely amazing on the hike up we got to check out some heavy artillery the Japanese had left during World War 2. They had crazy bunkers dug into the mountain side. When we reached to top of Sokehs ridge we had an unbelivable view of the north side of the island. We got to see the reefs and the passes where all the waves break. We just wrapped up orientation and I will be moving to the remote village of Madoleneem tomorrow. I start school on Monday teaching Algebra II to highschool seniors (wish me luck I´m going to need it). Last night we went out to dinner with the entire World Teach group to the Village hotel. I can honestly say I witnessed the most beautiful sunset I have every seen in my life. Iĺl have to get some pictures from the other volunteers because I don´t have a camera. I picked up some good books as I prepare for an extremely slow pace of life in this remote municipality in Pohnpei. If anyone wants to send mail my address is World Teach p.o. box 2378 Kolonia Pohnpei, Federated States of Micronesia. If you can send Garden Catering that would be lovely.
