Back to the Carolinas!

The holidays must be getting closer, as the new Christmas Manger is taking shape!

On the steep road up to the heights, I discovered these stairs to nowhere...oh, there was a house up there somewhere...

I still find it amazing to see cactus on a tropical island

From the Carolinas heights is a great view of the village

Occasionally there are roads to nowhere...

This little puppy was sunning himself in the middle of the road, but was too shy to say hi

Perhaps the beginning of a house...at least he is using his land!

Must be laundry day

Here are the remains of a small dog...its collar and rope were still around its neck

The house on top of the world-- this house was up next to the base of the cliff, just below the Japanese Shinto shrine

There is a small road that connects the Carolinas subdivision with the road up to the shrine

The Shinto shrine is in need of help again. Another tree has fallen across the stairs up to the shrine. I guess I have a chore to do...

Once you get past the fallen tree, the shrine is beautiful, as usual

There have been visitors who have left gifts to their ancestors

Still my favorite shrine on Tinian!
