I found this quote in the book “The Pacific Islands and the Sea”; since
our ward is in Laura and we make that long drive once or twice a week, I wanted
to use this beautiful description. I have
to add that this was written twelve years ago, but it is pretty much the same except
for more cars on the road.
“Nothing I had ever read about the Marshalls prepared me for
the 30-mile trip to Laura-lush and beautiful with banana, pandanus, breadfruit
and coconut trees-undisturbed for miles and miles-no trash, no other cars on
the road and the heady sensation of driving along and seeing the ocean on one
side of the road, and the lagoon on the other.
Everything was the antithesis of what I had expected, altogether an
incredible experience. When we arrived at
Laura, we parked under a canopy of trees and walked some 10 feet over coral
pebbles onto the white-sand beach and then waded into the warm jade green and
azure colored sea. “
Pandanas trees have huge fruit!
