FAPAC ava ceremony demonstration

Some photos I snapped at a little gathering for the first American Samoa chapter of Federal Asian Pacific American Council (FAPAC).

There was an ava ceremony demonstration, a taualuga by the cutest taupou, and of course, no event is without food in American Samoa!

Thanks to Dora for the invite!
