Heading into Pago Pago


Samoan Bus Stop

Samoan Bus Stop

As I noted last week it’s a fairly short stroll from Fagatogo to Pago Pago.  But the fun is all in the sights along the way, from the colorful:

If you don’t feel like walking then grab one of the many buses:

But even in light rain it’s more fun to walk.

Today I promised something a bit different — a look at American Samoa’s Pago Pago Harbor in stitched panoramic images.  First off is the Samoa Tuna Processors plant in Atu’u across the harbor from Fagatogo:

This next panoramic shot shows the shops along the southern edge of Fagatogo Park, as well as what appears to be an amphitheater to the left:

This final panoramic stitch was taken looking back toward village of Aua (note the blue-roofed church near the center) from Pago Pago near the Fagatogo Port and it’s fishing boats.
