pago pago - pronounced pango pango. American Somoa

arrived pago pago 8/11/13. Anchorage is in a bay downwind from the starkest tuna processing plant. The aroma is striking when they are cooking tuna. Thousands of frozen tuna are brought in by large fishing boats from China and Somoa. The fish are thawed out by flowing hot water over them in large tanks. I asked for a tour of the plant but it just so happened the board of directors from Japan were visiting so we didn't visit Charlie Tuna's plant. Nona and I took a small bus to Aua for a walk and to see the Fruit bats. A few were flying during the day and looked quite prehoristic. They hang from the trees by day and eat fruit at dusk.
