Today we went on tours of some of the museums in Fiji and saw the historic artifacts of Fiji including the shoes of Captain Cook who was murdered by the natives and (because they were Cannibals) only his shoes were left of him. We also toured an art gallery at a prison where the prisoners make art to sell so they have money when they leave. It is also another great way to keep them active and see a purpose in their lives. After these tours we went back to USP and had lunch. The women at the University always cook us an amazing lunch and we gobble it right up. But then we had time to prepare for the exam. I hung out with the artists and we played some football (soccer). Next they taught me how to play rugby, which was really difficult to grasp after I have been exposed to American football so much. It was fun and we all had a good laugh.
