We successfully crossed the dateline so its now Monday, December 3.

Did a tour this morning to learn more about Samoa. Villages are still set up with a chief and people are required to marry from a village other than their own. Houses are open to limit damage during typhons. Apia is fairly developed but rural areas are pretty basis

Went to a garden during tour where they boiled bananas in coconut cream. Also had local fruit.
