Samoa and Robert Louis Stevenson

One of my goals, besides the medical mission, in visiting W Samoa (the country prefers just Samoa now as apart from American Samoa) was to climb up the mountain where RLS is buried. It was a very rigorous climb and a 11 yo nephew of Dr Alailima accompanied me, taking 3 hours since part of the trail was blocked with trees from a recent cyclone. It was very worthwhile to witness his white mausaleum with the famous poem "under the wide and starry sky-- home is the sailor from the sea, home is the hunter from the hill". Later I toured his home Vailima which has been renovated several times. The extensive travels of the man and his adopted family would put any jetsetter to shame. He sought something special, besides his health, from the South Seas. He was a true romantic.
