Back to Sailele

We went back to Sailele today. The beach and village are really nice. Even the villagers seem to be a little nicer than most.



Where have we seen this before?


It was a very, very beautiful day!


Jaime, Jessi and Liz


The road continues on through the village, but I wouldn't really drive (?!) on it. It's more like a 'walking road.'


Mark and I hiked around the hill to the next village, which had some pretty good, deep areas to snorkel (Sailele, on the other hand, is always shallow--not one of its selling points).


We came back and everyone was sitting under the coconut trees. The locals were cutting open sweet coconuts for us. One guy must have cut open 15-20. I don't know why so many. It must be the power you feel wielding a machete or something. Or maybe he's just Samoan.


Jaydn and his friends decided to wrestle in the sand. He got really dirty.


After the women begged and pleaded for him to, our coconut-cutter showed us how to climb up the trees. First he had to explain that he needed shorts, because his lava lava wouldn't be appropriate attire up in the tree.

Then Jessi decided to try.

And try.

And try again.
At least she tried.

What a nice day.
