Post from Michelle:
Brillant turquoise water lay before me as white spray splashed my face. Tim and I had been graciously invited by the owner of the hotel we were staying at to spend Sunday afternoon on his catamaran.
As we flew along the reef I was struck by the beauty of the island Savai'i. Although less developed than Upolu, it is equal in charm. The coast was covered by a sparkling white sand beach and lined with swaying palm trees.
Along the reef, a fair distance from shore, we tied the boat to a large rock and jumped in the clear water to snorkel. The fish were small but brilliant in color. Blue, orange, and yellow colors swam by. As a bright blue school of fish passed me, they changed direction and suddenly became a glowing green. Purple blue star fish dotted the sand below.
Heading back to shore I thought, "This is what paradise is all about!"
