While high school seniors were taking their national exams or potentially copying from bootleg answer keys, I was a thousand miles away from any possible scandal, swimming with manta rays. Labuan Bajo houses on the seaside. Some kids paying football by the water. Little boy on a sack - main street of Labuan Bajo.

I retired my awesome Oakley boots today. They will not see American soil. I ordered them my first few weeks in country, and now in my last week, they will be sent to the trash. It has gotten to a point where I have to shoehorn my foot out of them at night. What should take seconds, often takes minutes. I loved them and they served me well. They are way more comfortable than the issued boots.
