More fun with coconuts...

....and paint ....oh, and fabric, ribbons, buoys, styrofoam cups, tires and whatever other stuff one may have laying around. I should have known better, but even after two years in American Samoa I didn't think it would go this far. Our entire island is covered in crazy decorations (i.e. future litter). It is hard to get the full extent in pictures, but think your crazy grandma's house at Christmastime. Or maybe this is just true of my Grandma as she would ensure that every square inch of her house was covered in chintzy decorations. Now that the Festival of the Pacific Arts is beginning maybe we'll see some real art. By the way... I, Melanie, wrote this. I realized with all my cynical humor that I may have sounded like the other Brown blogger.
