Greetings From Fiji!

That?s what I would have said a few months ago if I could have made this post then. Our dear Public Libraries are nearly everywhere! The Fijian President had recently died and his funeral was being held that evening in a soccer field down the street from the Library. The natives were wearing tradition mourning clothes, a black robe with a woven mat wrapped around the torso, for the funeral. Men were also wearing this same mourning outfit as well. The things you learn from travel!
