Our last full day in Samoa dawned cloudy and somewhat cooler. Or perhaps we are beginning to get used to the heat and humidity. Yesterday was about 90 with a heat index of 105 and today was predicted to be similar but turned out to be cooler without the sun. The few times the sun did come out, it got steamy.
A quiet Sunday in Apia means not so much traffic and streets you can simply wander around on without anyone hawking Lava Lava’s, local potato chips, or veggies.
It was just us and the pigs. This little porker is a Number 1 Pig, or a small size. We never saw one but some of the crew mentioned Number 6 Pigs that they saw about town.
We actually didn’t do much either, not just because the town was shut down, but because it was a very rainy day. Tomorrow we begin out journey back to Montana. We will try to post something tomorrow, if not our next post will be from Montana.
Thank you for joining us on this adventure and a special thanks to the NOAA Teacher at Sea Program and the Officers and Crew of the good ship Ka’Imimoana for making this possible.

Just to let you all know, I have your shrunken cups! There are over 300 and they are mixed for all the classes at the Academy. It should be fun looking through them to find your new treasure.
ReplyDeleteDr. J
Ha! I still have my cup. It was fun to read through this blog again. I missed out on a lot of the good details when I was a freshman.
ReplyDeleteDr. J if you read this I would love to catch up on how things are in Hawaii. I found an email on Hawaii.edu but I'm not sure its you. If you can email me at tucker@tuckerd.info
