MIcronesia 2008

Greetings,
This is my first attempt at doing a blog and it seems like a lot of fun.

Here are some pictures of our trip to Pohnpei Micronesia:


We had a couple hours layover in Hawaii and the Pilot of our plane took this picture.
Megan getting ready to serve up some fresh coconut from their front yard.
Andrew with Oliver and Rocky (rocky is the neighbors dog with the black snout)
Road to one of the waterfalls. Since the island gets over 16 feet of rain on the coast and over 30 feet in the mountains there are some beautiful waterfalls.



When you visit a place like this it is on private property and to view the falls we paid the property owner for the privilege. In all the places we visited we paid the property owner for the opportunity to see it.






















This falls and the one above were both viewed from the same place. There was a trail down to the falls but it looked pretty steep so we just looked at them from a distance.













This as the "Village" a resort where we ate dinner and booked our trip to snorkel, visit a waterfall and Nan Modal.
















Another view of the restaurant. This is the largest grass hut on the island and the sight of the restaurant.












The view is great from our dinner table and the food was very good. Mom and I shared Mahi Mahi and Andrew and Megan had Almond Chicken.










This is a view of the ocean inside the coral reef the waves are breaking about a mile from the land on the reef.
