I made a trip downtown to find an ATM, made a wrong turn and ended up at the bus station.  Many people ride the bus.  They are very colorful and hold more people than they should.  It looks like people are flowing out the windows when one goes by.  There are also taxis everywhere.  They are very inexpensive and people take them to go grocery shopping.  There are usually long lines of taxis waiting at the grocery markets.  At left you will see the many different buses all painted different bright colors.                                          



I went to the open air produce market where farmers come to sell their crops of bananas, mangos, taro root, coconuts, cucumbers, limes, lemons (which are large and green) and lots of other things I didn't recognize.

The bananas are small and very tasty.  I wanted to buy only a few but you have to buy the whole bunch.  Being from Idaho it's hard to accept that the bananas are many and the potatoes are few.

I went to church this morning.  I go to an English speaking ward.  You should have heard the men sing in Priesthood meeting.  The music was led by a downs syndrome kid who really got in ti the spirit of the.  Afterwards I was talking to sister Jacobs about where to buy fish.  A local sister heard us talking and brought me buy some fish she had cooked for dinner with taro root and leaves steamed in coconut cream, just like we ate at the Samoan demonstration
