Thursday, July 11, 2013 10:05 P.M. As the title says, my mother and I saw Volcano National Park today. It was a breathtaking experience… I’ll talk to Pele about that… I’d like to have my lungs back. Especially after breathing in all of that sulfur dioxide. But honestly, I couldn’t have imagined a better day. […]
Hawaii Day 3 (Micronesia Day 20): Sea to Sky
Friday, July 19, 2013 1:19 P.M. First off, let me just say that the time I’ve spent on this post is absolutely infuriating. I wrote a decently-sized post, then wrote a much larger post, then found out that the larger post got deleted after Firefox crashed, then tried to clear the cache to see if […]
Hawaii Day 2 (Micronesia Day 19) – A Host of Interesting Things
Tuesday, July 9, 2013 11:53 P.M. Today was a good day. I was able to sleep in until 11:45 or so, which is good because I was absolutely exhausted from staying up and editing the day 17 blog (I’m still working on some of the videos, but trust me, they are worth it). Today, we […]
Hawaii Day 1 (Micronesia Day 18) – Back to Luxury
Monday, July 8, 2013 9:49 P.M. For now on, I’ll try to have two subjects to each post… one from what I am doing on the Big Island, and another from what my friends are doing back in Pohnpei. I didn’t hear anything from Pohnpei today, so I’ll just talk about Hawaii. Today was a […]

Micronesia: Day 15 – Public Health Signs, Kolonia, and The Rusty Anchor
Saturday, July 6, 2013 11:34 P.M. Anybody know what this means? Ok, I started this and uploaded all the pictures at 11:34 P.M. on Saturday, but now it is 9:32 P.M. on Sunday and I am just beginning to actually type about what happened. Well, let’s get to it before it all washes out of […]
Micronesia: Day 16 beta
Sunday, July 7, 2013 6:52 P.M. This is my last night in Micronesia, so I’m planning to live it up. Whether that means initiating canine fights, getting wasted off sakau, or having mangrove-identifying competitions, I do not know. But whatever it is, it’s not going to be antisocial. My mom’s secret b-day party begins in […]
Micronesia: Day 14 – Sakau, Seagrasses and Sunsets
Water just outside the barrier reef surrounding Pohnpei, Micronesia – 7/5/13 Friday, July 5, 2013 8:34 P.M. Good evening everybody. Well, for all my readers in Seattle, I should say “good before-sunbreak everyone.” Anyway, it’s Friday evening here, and I had a spectacular end to a spectacular week. First off, let me upload some pictures […]

Micronesia: Day 12 – Hi Mom! :)
Wednesday, July 3, 2013 11:54 P.M. I love my mom Sacrifice. Do you know what that means? Well, for those who don’t know, it means Sara Robertson. My mom flew all the way over from Seattle to Pohnpei just to see me after my two back to back seizures. I’ll be seeing her in two […]
