Flight Nights.

The Tafuna International Airport. It’s a hang out spot, like going to the mall (because we don’t actually have a mall here). See people leaving, see people coming. One teenager leaves for college and the entire family, church, village sees them off. Literally.

And I love it. Absolutely. Here for it.

Celebrating your birthday on the beach with your best friends coming into the water with your birthday cake half drunk singing their lungs out has got to be one of the best things in life. It wasn’t my birthday. I was the drunk singing my lungs out, by the way, and Teeann and Ligi came up with this “litty” idea. For our Maymay, who isn’t pictured by the way because of course, he’s in the water, screaming at us, drunk up the a, holding his vailima bottle, enjoying what it means to be living unafraid in Amerika Samoa, one of the only countries in the world, untouched, by the COVID19 virus.
