Vanuatu

I had the opportunity to go up a very high tower today.  25m?  30m?  I took a couple selfies and a shot of my ant-like peers below.  I didn't know the "beauty" filter was on, so please excuse my perfect skin. I've been bothered by heights before but that was a long time ago, and thought I'd give this a try.   I was instructed by a couple guys who have done a lot of climbing, so I was well prepared.  I was never nervous and enjoyed it.

On Thursday, 29-Sep, at just after 5pm, I received a notice that the government of Vanuatu declared the following day, 30-Sep, from 12pm onward, to be a holiday. Yes, less than 24 hours notice of a new, ad-hoc holiday! Later I found out it was because the Vanuatu soccer team reached the semifinals or something of a soccer tournament.  And don't blame me for the photo-of-a-screen format; I'm just the messenger.
