The shows were incredible. It was difficult to take photos, but I'll try to process some of the small video clips in the coming days.
Here are John and I, sporting our lava lavas...the sarongs that are commonly worn by men and women in the Samoas.

Siva Afi
We have been lucky to arrive in Apia, Samoa in time for the 10th Annual International Siva Afi competition. Siva Afi is fire dancing. So for the past three evenings, we've enjoyed first the seniors qualifications, the juniors, and the finals! There is big stakes for this competition. The winner receives $3000 tala...almost 3/4 of the average annual income!
