Savai'i

Thanks to an invite from a colleague, Clif and I spent a weekend in independent Samoa. We went to a concert and were able to see some of Savai'i. It is so different than Tutuila: less development, more land, fewer people... It was beautiful! We definitely need to return with the kids.

We stayed at Stevenson's at Manase right on this gorgeous beach. The water here is so refreshing. There is cold fresh water runoff all along the beach so the top layer of the water is nice and cool, but the saltwater underneath is a balmy 84 degrees. So nice!

Although I don't have pictures of it, I think the true highlight of the trip was staying out late with new friends, drinking and singing whatever we could remember of old songs -with our own accompanist!
