Lotus Flowers & Bombshell Vase

I popped by the markets yesterday and practically squealed when I saw some mamas selling flowers. There were so many to choose from, but I settled on a bunch of lotus flowers. The aroma was distinct, rich and fruity.

Mark asked where I was going to put them (as we’re still living out of a suitcase until our container arrives). I already knew!

Mark found a bombshell in our backyard – most likely dating back to WWII when the US had a base here at Vanuatu. Fortunately for the Ni Vatus, while fighting was fierce in the South Pacific, it didn’t reach the shores of Vanuatu.

I didn’t mention that the bunch of flowers cost $2 – another reason to visit the world’s happiest country!
