While in Safua, we get the lifetime chance to have our days spent with Mr. Warren Jopling. Warren is a palagi (a non-Samoan person) as you can see, but he is very very much a part of Safua life. I'm not sure how to explain this, but Warren is like no one else on the planet. He is a 78 year old Australian geologist that has traveled the world and knows more about Samoan natural history than, I'd confidently say, anyone in the universe. Warren is a free thinking, free speaking, Noni-juice drinking man that really makes the excursions of our week in Safua relevant and thoughtful. With him we travel to Lava fields, blowholes, volcanic craters, spot Flying Foxes, climb ancient Polynesian mounds and travel to the Westernmost place in the whole world in buses with odd English words like "cool and unusual."
This post is dedicated to Warren and the places he holds in the hearts of CCSPers past and present and future cause he's gonna live to be 300.Here is Warren and Christy, the best of friends.
