30 Sept 2012

 

 It's white Sunday on October 14.  Evidentally its a holiday for the children; many stores have all white clothes in the windows.  This is the same window that I put on the blog a few months ago.

 Photos from our walk this morning.  A fale with grave in front.  This must be a village fale not a private family fale

 Sr. Couples in a swimming place called "The Trenches."  It's like the Homestead crater; you enter by going down 30-40 stairs.  There is also a passage way where you can enter out into the ocean.
