Here are some photos of my vacation to Palau, not in chronological order. This is a photo of Yahoo Beach, so named because Yahoo.com filmed a TV commercial here for Superbowl 34 or 35 or something. 

Here I am standing at the end of the T Dock 

This is a piece of Yapese stone money. They Yapese quarried their money in the Rock Islands of Palau and then hauled them back to Yap on rafts, but I suspect this piece was was too big to fit on their raft, so they left it behind. 

The Rock Islands

Me at the Post Office 

Me again 

This is part of Palau's new Capital complex. It's a creepy thing: totally out of place, inappropriate and located in the middle of nowhere!

In the museum, in front of an old abai decoration 

Down the hill from me is a series of ancient stone monoliths. 

An ancient stone monolith. You can't tell from this picture, but there is a face carved on it. 

Giving myself a facial with the white mud at the Milky Way in the Rock Islands 

The creature from the blue lagoon. 

A bunch of local apples. Yumm... 

Kayaking among the Rock Islands. That's me on the left. 

That's me kayaking through a cave in the Rock Islands. 

Anyone want a boat? 

The new bridge to Babeldaob, replacing the old one which collapsed in 1996, killing two people. 

This is one of the Rock Islands which has an arch in the middle, and that's me in front of it in my stylish swimming apparel. 

Again... 

Another shot of the island 

Decorations on an abai 

Abai details. The "lightening" coming out of mouths is to show that they are speaking or making noise.
