The weather is still trying to be discouraging, but we won't let that bother us! When we arrived they did give us ponchos, just in case. Thankfully we never did need to use them!
We were all presented with leis and then got our picture taken. After the picture they took the leis back. Oh well, we got ones we could keep later on. We received both a shell lei and a real orchid lei. Both very beautiful! Here Andrew is receiving his lei for the picture. Such a cutie pie!
Ben is such a "cool dude". Here he is giving us a "SHAKA!"
One of the first shows we we saw in PCC was in the Samoan village. We saw "Kapeneta Teo-Tafiti" or "Kap" for short. He showed us how to make fire with coconut husks and how to crack a coconut and how to get the milk from one. It was very fascinating. He also taught us that in Samoa the men do ALL the cooking and the women weave and sew. Very interesting. I could live like that...for a while. Kap was very entertaining and had us all in stitches a few times.
One of Kap's friends showed how they climb the tree to get the coconuts. It wasn't really like "climbing" the tree, more like "flying" up it! He was so fast and made it look effortless. Wow!
