Pictures to accompany the last blog

Here are a few pictures of Colonia, Yap. I now have an apartment downtown Colonia.

View of the lagoon from my hotel. Houses along the lagoon are on stilts.

 

 

 

A church on the hillside (gray skies today):                                        

 

                                                                                   

 

Pacific Island University!

 

Living history museum. The outriggers are so narrow it is doubtful that many modern sized men cold fit insde them.

 

 

STONE MONEY, for which the island is best known.

The sign posts remind me of the spirit houses in Bali. Will have to find out more about them.

 

 

 

 

A place to watch the football games - Monday mornings local time for a 1:00 Sunday afternoon start at home! No sailboats at the marina, however.

 

 

 

 Some pretty flowers:

 

Some cute dogs about town. Here is one I have seen a few times. She  has a home in town.
