Honiara, Solomon Islands
Our hosts were immensely hospitable and were kind enough to take us on a small tour of the hills around Honiara.
We visited the American War Memorial and the Solomon Peace Memorial Park, which was the Japanese war memorial (the War in the Pacific will be a common through-line of our visits to these islands). These were both situated in the high lands, which gave us some pretty stunning views.

The only other memory I have of this trip was laying on my hotel bed reading a John Siracusa review of OS-X. I wasn’t a Mac user at the time but so detailed were the reviews I found them a joy to read. Interesting thing to remember I agree.
