The last few days in AS have been interesting. A whale carcass washed up onto the reef in the village of Faganeanea. Occassionally you could see sharks feeding on the carcass. For some reason they seemed a little larger than expected. I spent the day watching the DMWR crew try and pull the carcass off the reef and out to sea. After a day of trying, they finally managed to pull the carcass out to sea.
Nick and I had a nice day on Sunday. We dropped the girls off at Cheryl's house so they could go swimming in the Ocean and then went on a hike up to Mt. Alava. It is a nice and peaceful hike through lush tropical rainforest. It takes about 1-1.5 hrs to get to the top but the view is worth it. After a hot afternoon we took a dip in the ocean at Cheryl's house. American Samoa has some of the most dramatic scenery I have seen. Some photos from the hike:
