New Guy and I did okay. 
Fred and Nate were just confused. 
But the Samoan kids rocked it. 
We were going to hit some balls at the Batting Cages (also located at the bowling alley), but the sign confused us. 
We were not sure which side was "Reft" Hand. And it also prohibited drunks, so half of us were excluded. Instead, we went to the dance club (also at the bowling alley) and danced. 
Or at least Sharon and I danced.
After a short walk past a pig farm 
and through the jungle 
you find a really refreshing pool and waterfall.
Awesome. After the falls, we made some enchiladas and watched "The Big Lebowski" on the really big screen.
Thanks Aldin for the wall. 
We are told it is part of his heritage. As he is starting a new adventure, we thought the Dora the Explorer pinata made most sense. 
He really got into - 
but Max caught some of the "treats"which included sauce from Checkers. 
Parts of the pinata also served as fun party hats 
and props to recreate Madonna videos. 
New Guy also made one of his (in)famous vats. 
I know it looks like vomit, but was actually very tasty. And he liked it. 
Or maybe it was the Hinder shirt. The music was playing, so we had to dance.
There was even some chair dancing.
Another successful Association party.
Oh No - 
Gonzo only has a week left on island and I only have two weeks!?!
It is suppose to be one of the better places on the island - but a "better" place doesn't mean much in Am Sam. However, we were all pleasantly surprised at the quality of the food. It was delicious. As it was a formal event, Nate wore is fancy safari suit. 
Go Bills! 
Not sure if Nate and Niki should stand that close together. After dinner we went back to my place for pie and drinks. New Guy brought over some Bailey's type of liquor that he got free with purchase from the local liquor store. Sadly, it had solidified. 
We realized why it was free. The pie was better, 
but New Guy wasn't able to blow out his candles, because The Lady Naomi walked the pie with burning candles in front of the fan. 
So I guess the fan got the wish this year. However, I think New Guy's birthday wish did come true cause I was able to secure him the Hinder tour shirt. 
He really wanted it.
For those of you who don't know, Hinder is New Guy's all time favorite band. Lucky for New Guy (and really all of us) the local radio station plays Hinder songs ALL the time. If you miss it, don't worry they will play it again in like ten minutes. In case Hinder is not as big outside Am Sam, which would be shocking, here is the video for New Guy's favorite Hinder song - Lips of an Angel. The lyrics are pure magic.
After the surprise party, I went to Jeff & Mer's 
so we could say goodbye to Samoan Steve - 
doesn't he sort of look like Judd Nelson? He is leaving for Hawaii for a new job. He should be back in six months, but that is a lifetime in Am Sam - or at least half a contract for a law clerk. On Sunday, after brunch at Deluxe Cafe (perhaps the fourth Sunday in a row), a group of us went to Sliding Rock. The walk over is pretty cool.
Unlike last time I went, it was low tide, so it the pool was nice and calm. 
However, every once and awhile a major wave would crash into the pool and push us around. It was really cool. This one Samoan kid was running on the (slippery) lava and jumping into the pool. 
CRAZY!
