The plane only stopped for about half an hour and then we were back on schedule. The flight to Pohnpei was less than an hour. The approach to Pohnpei was a little different - very cloudy and the island is a dark, lush, green with dramatic Tahiti like spires of rock and densely forested mountains (well, maybe steep hills) - pretty much perfect, except no beach the shore looks pretty much like solid mangroves (not a surprise - Stacy had repetitively warned me about that). At the airport I breezed through immigration but I had to pay twenty-five percent duty on the bottle of wine I brought in - I could have brought a liter and a half of spirits duty free. Stacy was waiting for me and we went to meet some of her coworkers and other "menwhas" (white people) at a restaurant. We caught a ride back to her school / lab complex (PATS - Pohnpei Agricultural and Technical School) and I dumped my gear in the guest room I'm using at the school. Stacy and I hung out with Corinne, another friend of Stacy's who's visiting, and got a tour of the lab. Before sunset we sat up on Stacy's porch (great view of the water, but unfortunately can't see the sunset) and drank VB(!) and listened to music. After diner we watched ConAir on video with a lot of the volunteers here then I headed for bed when they put another video in.
