| This little dot of land is not large enough to be called an island - it's just an islet. |
There
is an island in the Pacific called Choiseul, after a French Minister
of foreign affairs.
It
used to be called San Marcos, after a Catholic saint.
It
is also called Lauru. Which is the name that the people who lived
there in the past, and also the people that live there now, call it!
Choiseul
Island is just one of the three major islands in the province called
Choiseul. I assumed that Choiseul would be the largest of the
province's islands, and also the capital of the province; I was only
half right:
Choiseul Island is the largest island in Choiseul
Province (hence the name), but a teeny island called Taro Island
serves as the capital of the province.
And
I hope you are asking yourself, “Province of what country?”
The
answer is Soloman Islands, an island nation that includes eight other provinces as well.
The
Soloman Islands are known for beautiful beaches, energetic dances,
and a minority of people with blond or reddish hair and dark skin.
