Everything is closed here on Sunday. Streets are empty except when the people go to the church. I decided to go anyway to the royal church expectind to see the memberrs of Royal Family. But nobody appeared – the red chairs were empty. In addition the church guards did not allow me to take pictures and recordings. Uuuuu… Singings an bress band were also only so-so.
Then I went to the Catholic cathedral church of St Mary, enjoying meeting with the people and being invited after the mass to drink kava with the members of the parish council (all men). They were listening with great interest to my stories from thd other Pacific countries (catholics are everywhere – from Papua NG to the Easter Island)
Then Father Sepa (born the same month and year as me) invited me for the lunch. Ho, ho, ho… I was trying raw fish, tapioca, yam, taro and other specials…
Thank you so much Father for all!
