I don't know if I posted about this already but one of our favorite palces to go is the local watering hole called Fatu Ma Futie. Fatu ma Futie is about 15 minutes from our fala - going the local speed limit of 25 miles per hour. The legend goes that Fatu and Futi were lovers and they were sailing in there canoe when a storm or really big wave or something knocked them out of the canoe and so they had to swim and they swam and swam and they were so tired that just before they made it to tutuila - they were from savaii which is an island about 300 miles away in western samoa- they drowned and these two matching rocks sprang up where they drowned together.......how romantic, despite the story, if you drown at fatu ma futie you have to be like the worst swimmer EVER since it's like waste high at the deepest part - but it still makes for a great swimming whole. And the two dead rocks make it a great view.

They aren't dead rocks and versions are varied about why Fatu and Futi are where they are now.
