We left off on the nearby min-island of Aunu'u, with that wild-looking tree.
Wednesday, July 22nd, Continued
From that tree, take a fairly intense hike through the jungle to a really big tree at the top of the mountain.
Meet a nice local man who lets you take a shortcut through a giant, mostly water-covered, taro plantation.
This is just a little less than half of it.
End up in the back of the village, where no white people are ever seen. Meet a small Samoan boy who points at your dad and exclaims "Palangi!" with awe, like it's the first one he's ever seen. Because it just might be.
Ride another "ferry" back to the main island. Deal with some jerk from Parks and Recreation who can't give you a ticket for parking in the space he considers reserved for him, so he double-parks you in.
Forget about that and go to the umu feast at Tisa's Barefoot Bar.
Enjoy free entertainment while you eat.
Finish another fun-filled day on the Rock with a nice 45-minuite drive back to my apartment.
