Prologue: page 3
The first time I landed on Majuro, I truly believed we would land in the water. Many flights later, I came to appreciate the special gift of this small piece of land, dear to the riMajol. Cradled between a beautiful calm turquoise lagoon on one hand, and the noisy, white-capped ocean waves on the other, is this narrow rim of earth. After WWII, some islets of atoll were joined together to form one 30-mile road. High tide waters sometimes overflow the road. << | >>
