This is the view from my office building (above). Below is my house... The picture on the top right (with the mural) is "The Executive Office Building (EOB)" where I work. The ocean picture to the right is my drive to work. Finally, the sunset picture is the golf course... we play every Friday afternoon for $3.00 for 9 holes. We usually make it through 7 holes before it gets dark.
7/2/08: So I left work today at 6:50 p.m. and it was dark. I freaked out (at first) because the parking lot was really, really, really, dark. No streetlights to guide me to my car. Just darkness. And then I saw the light: in the 2 + months that I have been working in American Samoa, I have never left work when it was dark out. I suddenly had the realization that in Colorado, I rarely left work when it was light out... in fact, I was usually shocked if it was light out when I left work. This is why life in American Samoa is pretty awesome. So, for those of you who keep asking me if it was a good decision for me to move here, the answer is: Yes, this place keeps finding a way to leave the light on for me.
