Salamumu Style

The Domestic Surfing God goes on Offshore Adventures with BRoss





And sometimes the family is lucky enough to stay at BRoss's fale at Salamumu. Actually this surfing photo was taken from in front of the fales at 7.30pm Sunday night, not out on the reef


Saturday night we shared a meal of spit roasted pig with friends


And a Vailima or two


The Sunset was glorious


And we slept to the sound of the sea


Sunday the boys decided to make HQ


It is finished just in time to shelter from the rain


Then a little combining technology with back to basics living


Nature won over in the end and we went for one of the best snorkels we've had here in Samoa.  This photo of Bunny finding a starfish out in front of BRoss' place was from last year but I saw one just like it on Sunday in the ocean


BRoss loves a project, here he is fixing the window of his new car. We all decide he is one lucky fella to live here


Sadly we have to go home, this is his road, much smoother than ours


The views are much better too


And the sunset illuminates life in Samoa


More weekends should be like this

  2. I miss my friends, so it won't be hard to come home. I don't live at Salamumu either, Hollywood Boulevade doesn't look like this. Though there is a house for sale down there, it is way too far to travel to Apia everyday.

  3. Good morning how are you?
    My name is Emilio, I am a Spanish boy and I live in a town near to Madrid. I am a very interested person in knowing things so different as the culture, the way of life of the inhabitants of our planet, the fauna, the flora, and the landscapes of all the countries of the world etc. in summary, I am a person that enjoys traveling, learning and respecting people's diversity from all over the world.
    I would love to travel and meet in person all the aspects above mentioned, but unfortunately as this is very expensive and my purchasing power is quite small, so I devised a way to travel with the imagination in every corner of our planet. A few years ago I started a collection of used stamps because trough them, you can see pictures about fauna, flora, monuments, landscapes etc. from all the countries. As every day is more and more difficult to get stamps, some years ago I started a new collection in order to get traditional letters addressed to me in which my goal was to get at least 1 letter from each country in the world. This modest goal is feasible to reach in the most part of countries, but unfortunately it’s impossible to achieve in other various territories for several reasons, either because they are countries at war, either because they are countries with extreme poverty or because for whatever reason the postal system is not functioning properly.
    For all this I would ask you one small favour:
    Would you be so kind as to send me a letter by traditional mail from Samoa? I understand perfectly that you think that your blog is not the appropriate place to ask this, and even, is very probably that you ignore my letter, but I would call your attention to the difficulty involved in getting a letter from that country, and also I don’t know anyone neither where to write in Samoa in order to increase my collection. a letter for me is like a little souvenir, like if I have had visited that territory with my imagination and at same time, the arrival of the letters from a country is a sign of peace and normality and an original way to promote a country in the world. My postal address is the following one:
    Emilio Fernandez Esteban
    Avenida Juan de la Cierva, 44
    28903 Getafe (Madrid)
    Spain
    If you wish, you can visit my blog www.cartasenmibuzon.blogspot.com where you can see the pictures of all the letters that I have received from whole World.
    Finally I would like to thank the attention given to this letter, and whether you can help me or not, I send my best wishes for peace, health and happiness for you, your family and all your dear beings.

    Yours Sincerely
