Requiem

Under the wide and starry sky,

Dig the grave and let me lie.

Glad did I live and gladly die And I laid me down with a will.

This be the verse you grave for me:

Here he lies where he longed to be;

Home is the sailor, home from sea, And the hunter home from the hill.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I visited Samoa and took photos here in September 1960. I stayed at Aggie Grey's hotel in Apia. Really enjoyed the holiday . I remember the climb too!

What exactly is the wooden structure near the grave. Perhaps an oversized chair?

I was there in 1971. Not to many people can say they have been there.
