Living and Loving


Our first basketball game!!!!



OUR FIRST WIN!!!!!! :)



The Samoana volunteers live here, and I stay over some weekends because I can't get from my village into town and back all the time mainly because of the crazy bus schedules. It is my home away from home. :)


Sending letters home with a SMILE! :)

FLAG DAY FAUTASI RACES!!!! I was cheering for Fagasa. They came in second to last. I still like them, though! :) Vatia got first. I don't remember who got second. Samoan Sharks got third.


Manu'a has a boat, but their relatives on Tutuila row it for them since it is so hard for anyone to get from Manu'a to Tutuila and back.






This is Fagasa again.


The rest of the photos are from FLAG DAY on April 17th!!! In 1900 Tutuila signed the deed to join the US.



This goes up to the governor's house.


American flag with a papaya tree in the background... something I'd never seen before...








I thought it was a mermaid way out in the ocean, but it turned out just to be a man fishing. Darn. :)




Fautasi race!!!!

I guess a boat sank last year.... but not this year!
