“Aso Lua” is the FaaSamoa for Tuesday. However I am decreeing that from now until about two years from now it here after be referred to as “Mail day” instead! So happy mail day to you all!
The mail comes in to the island on a plane twice a week, Monday and Wednesday. It takes the post office until Tuesday at noon for the mail to be ready for pickup. The peace corps admin staff goes to pick it up at 1:00pm and it is promised to us in our boxes by 3pm. So I look forward to 3:00 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays. (Thursdays soon to be re-named something like “mail day part II” or “mail day redo” or maybe even “mail day reloaded” or some such other wacky name) Tuesdays are extra special tho because not only is it mail day but it is package day. Packages only come in on the first plane of the week. And to top it off is ”let off steam” night with Mo. Which means a beer, getting my ass kicked at pool, and eating sashimi (which I must admit I have moved on to actually liking). I always have a great time and feel much better afterwards.
I know that most of you get mail every day and it’s not big deal. But I don’t get bills or adds in the mail so when it comes it is very exciting!
I wish everyone something nice in the mail today.
