Pacific Arts Festival-Other People's Blogs

Some links to friend's blogs with good info and photos.
Many of these guys work across the street so they all took long (very long) lunch hours during the festival. And some even luckier others don't have day jobs so they could hang out all day long. Check them out-there's some good stuff!

I would also keep checking The Harty's because I know that Julia took some awesome photos but it seems she hasn't had time to upload.

Pacific Arts Festival-Tahitian Performers

American Samoa hosted the 10th Pacific Arts Festival for two weeks and we were treated to the arts and culture of 26 Pacific Nations. This festival happens only every 4 years. There were performances throughout the day during the week, but I was unfortunately stuck at work. Luckily, there were performances at night as well.
There was a fabulous performance of Tahitian, Fijian, FireKnife Dancing one evening. These photos are from the Tahitian Performance. This was an evening outdoor show. It was a dramatic performance with the twilight clouds.
