This idyllic beach is on Tinian. It played an important part during WWII and the War in the Pacific. It is used now for wonderful BBQ's on weekends, but lots of the time you can find it desolate like this photo that was taken on a Sunday afternoon.

ESL Students
Meet Huang Ping and Qu cai Hong from China. They were attending the Technology Show & Tell today in the Student Center. We shared our tech toys with the students. I showed them how easy it is to use Flickr and Blogger to make a Photoblog. Huang and Qu cai are in the ESL class I have been working with each week. All the students in that class now have blogs. They enjoy working in the computer lab each week writing and correcting their English Blog posts and they have fun helping each other.

Anatahan: Ominous Clouds over Saipan
As the clouds swirled over the peninsula just a few mintues later Andrew was able to capture this picture from our apartment. It was such as eerie feel all over the island, even the green hedges took on a neon glow as the sun was totally hidden behind the ash cloud and by 10:30am it was dusk all over the island. Add another adventure to our journey!
Anatahan: View from Saipan
When Anatahan spewed last week Andrew ran home and took this picture from our apartment. You can see the dark line in the sky over the peninsula as the ash cloud began to approach Saipan.

Tinian Latte Stones
Fallon took this picture of the Latte Stones on Tinian while she was here visiting. Latte Stones are a symbol of Chamorrow culture. If you look really hard you will see a person (me) and see how small I am next to the huge Latte Stones. We also saw Latte Stones when we went to Rota. In Rota the Latte Stones are still in the ground, they were left in the 'rock quarry' all these years. It is amazing to imagine how they would have carved these stones and moved them back then.
