We rested in the shade and drank sui (coconut water). We hitched a ride on a passing truck and road to another village, where DD attended Primary School. My thought was that I could film her giving us a tour of the small campus and share some memories of her youth.

I arrived to the Parascos' family home in Awayama on Monday evening. I used that first evening to catch up with DD and learn what she's been up to since I was with her last year.

The weather here in Liak has been more than ideal for the past two days. It's been so nice that I yelled in my mind at God, asking "Why can't it be like this more?!" The air is less humid. The breeze feels fresh.

My time on Misima is getting shorter and shorter. When this week began, I had three weeks or twenty one days. By the time you read this update, I will only have two weeks or fourteen days. I'm aware of my time now in a more hyper sensitive way.

I want to run my generator today and get all of my equipment charged and ready to continue filming. For the next few weeks, I will be focusing production on DD and the old woman with the grass skirt, who's name is KK.

MM and I boarded Jazz III for the 23 hour boat ride back to Misima Island. Before we boarded, Jordan met us down at the wharf and said his last goodbye to MM and me. Although most of my film work has been done apart and away from Jordan, it's now officially only me, myself, and I.

I had some really deep and thoughtful exchanges with EE and DD Parascos. Experiencing her family and home made DD even more interesting to me. I learned that her father worked for Misima Mines himself.
