Outside Chapel at Uatafo--end of the road in Samoa 
 "Inside" the "outside" chapel
 The Sunday School classroom
 Their daughter is cleaning the fish for our dinner
 A wood carver making plates to sell at the open market
 Our host digging for "muscles" I think along the ocean shore
 This Samoan is weaving a "fine" mat to sell.  It will takes her at least two months and it will sell for about $500 tala or $250 U.S.
 Our hosts served us lunch: #2 size pig including head and feet, tara, fish, and I don't know how to spell the other delicacies...they shared their "all" with us
 This is where we were--at the end of the earth
I couldn't resist a picture of this naked little "pigherder"  He wasn't about to let those pigs in the kitchen!

Nov 2012American Samoa

This is the airport we left from.  Yes, that is the luggage area and also boarding gate!
We are boarding a 16 seater plane.  They weigh every passenger and their luggage--only 6 pieces of luggage made the flight....if that gives you an idea of the passenger list...  
This is a World War II Japanese ship still on the coast line
This fishing boat is still used for fishing....hope they have an extra bail bucket
