Friday night I left the comforts of Tutuila to go visit my friend Veronica who lives on the small island of Aunu'u. Aunu'u is just off the coast of Tutuila and is accessible by a little boat that takes probably 10 minutes and costs $1. It is a small but beautiful island. You could probably walk the perimeter in under 2 hours, however, those 2 hours would be filled with gorgeous locales and stunning views of the ocean.
Going to Aunu'u was great to get away from the hubbub of the main island. Veronica and I spent the night talking, sitting on the sea wall and catching up. A very relaxing atmosphere. The whole island has a big village feel to it. There is one "road" (with only 5 vehicles on island) that goes around the whole island with lots of mini trails that cut through it which means you end up walking through someones property. But everyone knows everyone out there and no one seems to mind.
The bright spot of my visit was when Veronica took us to a place called Siena and Tigilau. I'll let the pictures show you why it was so amazing. It was a place that I could have sat at for hours, contemplating life and enjoying the natural beauty of the places that surround me. A place to go visit again.
