My Samoan boyfriend

Peace Corps women in the past have built a reputation for dating and marrying Samoan men.  That's why every time I meet someone new, and especially every time I get in a cab in Apia, I get the same questions over and over again. Do you have a Samoan boyfriend? Why not? When will you get a Samoan boyfriend? Can I be your Samoan boyfriend? Ect...

So, I am happy to announce that I finally have an answer. My Samoan boyfriend's name is Tavita (David in English). He lives in my village, and he just loves the palagi (white) girls. And I just love that face! It's a match made in heaven.

I just don't mention the fact that he's 4 months old. His family, by the way, totally approves. They're very entertained by my little joke, and the taxi drivers back off a little bit. Everyone wins!

Laziness

Sorry I'm too lazy to write. Next best thing!

Love and miss you all!
