After sleeping for 15 1/2 hours, and no dinner, Dad woke us up at 4:45 A.M. Samoa time and we had to entertain ourselves until 7:30 A.M. when breakfast would be served. We were the 1st to arrive at breakfast. We ordered a contential breakfast for Austin which he ate very quickly. Dallas and I had Belgim Waffles. All the breakfast are served with natural fruits, papaya, banana's, ect. We enjoyed our breakfast in the open air over looking the ocean watching and listening to the waves breaking on the outer reef, about 1/3 to a 1/2 mile off shore. There native kitty cat which Austin took an automatic liking to was named OUCIE (Lucy, without the "L"), he was a very friendly but scranny tiger. He had 1 light eye and 1 dark eye and his tongue was allways partailly sticking out. He was constantly craving affection and handouts.
We got here at 7:35 A.M. and it's now 8:40 A.M. and people are starting to arrive for breakfast. We played on the beach most of the day and watched one of the locals climb a coconut palm tree and drop about a dozen coconuts to the ground. The offered us fresh cocnut juice. It was great, even thoug it was warm.
We went back to the room after spending the day on the beach and freshed up for dinner. We were all still wearing the same clothes now for 2 days. We all ordered strawberry-banana smoothies. We all ordered our dinner, Austin's arrived early and he just about fell asleep in his plate, so we all headed back to the room with out take out dinner and turned in.
