A walk through Ribono village, Abiang, Kiribati - 10/14

Ribono village is close to perfection, the villagers live in harmony with nature - fish and coconuts abound. Ribono was unfortunately the site of the trip’s greatest disappointment.  The elder woman of the village wanted to ceremonially place palm frond crowns on our heads and give us a tour of the entire island, but we had to decline as we didn’t have enough time.  I don’t think she understood our time constraint and clearly felt very insulted.
