Pago Pago, American Samoa
October 10, 2017
We started off the day by getting off the ship and going shopping. There were tons of different types of dresses, weapons, art, purses, etc.
We wound up
buying 2 pearl necklaces for me and my Mom. One was cultured pearls that were a
lot of different colors like grey, green, pink, and cream. The other one
was a white fresh water pearl necklace. At one of the other shops my
Dad bought a t-shirt that says American Samoa and has palm trees on it. After
our shopping extravaganza we walked down to Sadies by the Sea. 
On our way we saw a coffee shop that was called Starstruck instead of Starbucks.
When we got
to Sadies by the Sea my Mom and Dad went to the restaurant for drinks and I
went to enjoy their company. Afterwards, my Dad decided to buy 30 minutes of internet and
my Mom and I went to the beach (that is connected to Sadies by the Sea).When we arrived at the beach we were greeted by a bunch of trash in the Ocean, like chip bags and plastic bags. So, I decided to help the place out by cleaning most of it up. Then my Mom and I went out further on the beach, to where the sand was wet, and made a sandcastle (more like a mountain actually). I figured out how to make trees on our sandcastle/mountain.
After my Mom and I made the sandcastle/mountain my Dad came
with the backpack that had my underwater camera, goggles and my boat shoes. I headed
out into the Ocean to find cool things to take pictures of!
I met a girl who
was travelling with her family for Spring Break. She was trying to catch fish.
Her family rented a canoe and they had a boat load of fun (get it boat load of
fun because a canoe is a kind of boat).
When her family told her that she had to go back to the pool she was not very
happy, because was dirt in the pool. I was confused until she explained that
there were plants by the pool and they had blown over and gone into the pool.
After she left I decided to try snorkeling for the first time! I did it a little bit but I did not go out very far. Then my Dad went with me, so I could go in the deeper section and I saw a bunch of rocks. I only saw 3 fish, but they were very pretty.
After a half an hour of snorkeling I went back to the place where
I was picking up trash earlier. When I was there earlier I had seen a lady
picking up 16 coconuts from the ground. I went back to that spot and I found 2
coconuts, but all the others were gone. I grabbed those 2 and brought them to
the restaurant for lunch. Unfortunately the restaurant did not have a machete,
so I spent a half an hour peeling the husk off. Once I got about half the husk
off, my Dad was able to take a dinner knife and cut a hole in the coconut. He
put a straw in the coconut and we drank the juice. It was delicious!

We decided to head back to the ship after a wonderful day in American Samoa!
