The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Monday, September 04, 2006. So on to the present. My new home is in Falelima on the west coast of Savai'i. I see the day end in beautiful sunsets over the vast empty pacific. I have a large family that has taken great care of me. Finally these are the ladies of group 76 doing their dance for the village at the going a way party. Hope this finds everyone well and not working to hard. Posted by tim at 2:12 PM.

The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Friday, December 08, 2006. I would say no they have a ball of fat from the tail region (that is shipped to Samoa I'm guessing because it is cheaper than sending it to a landfill) that may contain two very small bites of meat if you work for them. I chose not to bother. Peace and hope you enjoy the pics below. Hanging out with Julya at Halloween. Vik, Dane and John on our Savai'i adventure. Crafts day in Ma'asina. The bay in Maasina.

The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Thursday, April 19, 2007. So once again it has been awhile since my last post and it has been a busy few months, with plenty of highs and lows (which I sure the staff said was normal at our early service conference if I had been there to hear it but more on that in a minute). Placing forms for the Women's Committee fale foundation. Mixing concrete in the developing world is pretty universal and labor intensive. Tim is a Peace Corps ...

The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Wednesday, January 02, 2008. Holidays in New Zealand. So I'm back in New Zealand for the Christmas new years break. Traveling around with Dylan another volunteer from Samoa. We're in about the middle of our trip. We spent the first week on the north island divided between Auckland and Rotorua. Then came to the south island for our last two weeks. Aftermath of going fast, but how else should you go? Lake on the Road to Milford Sound.

The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Saturday, January 13, 2007. The beach fales we stayed in at Falealupo. The group hanging out on New Years Eve waiting for sunset. The last sunset of 2006. The folks at the fiafia the place put on for us at new years. The women’s committees of each village show the fine mats they have been weaving one each year. Sarah from my group joined her committee in the parade. Posted by tim at 1:47 PM.

The adventures of a Peace Corps Volunteer in the paradise that is Samoa. Thursday, October 25, 2007. Walking around since getting it reminds me of when I first got here. You can see peoples eyes following it and many people have stopped me to comment on it. Everyone seems to think it’s great, Samoa is different from the US in this respect it is almost more common to have a tattoo than to not have one, but most importantly I am really happy with it and that’s all that really matters. Laying out the back.
