Religion is a huge part of the Tongan people's lives. So, it comes as no surprise that Sunday is a sacred, special day. Every family in the village attends AT LEAST 2 church services. Each service is about 2 hours. Our host family goes to the 5:30 a.m. service as well as the 10:00. However, Ryan and I only attend the 10:00 service with our family. After church, everyone comes home to eat the traditional Tongan dish called Lu. This dish is made in an underground oven called an umu. No stores are open, and after dinner, you are expected to "take a rest....." which is essentially a five hour nap. Not too shabby........
Alright family and friends... here it is, the picture I know you have all been waiting for. My dear husband in his tupenu (skirt). ENJOY :)

If I’m being honest with myself, I’ve been waiting to see a picture of Klob in a dress since well before the Peace Corps or Tonga was even in the picture.
And I must say that he did not disappoint. Look at the gams on that fella! Any chance we can get a video posted of the K-man doing some sort of twirl in that rig?
