Tinian half-time show

Here is the dancer that brings the house down at all the basketball games!

The new Tinian cheerleaders make their debut

The entertainment for the night began with the debut of the Tinian Dynasty Cheerleaders. Wow!

Tinian Dynasty loses a tough game

It was a very close game all the way, with Tinian keeping the lead most of the time

Our half-time show was the now famous 'dancing man', who always brings down the house!

In the end, Fiestas Grand pulled ahead, mostly due to good foul shooting. It was a tough loss, since I thought Tinian was the better team.

I am told that there is not a 3 or 4-way tie for first place!

Moving forward

Dynasty seems to have a new tourist bus...at least I have not seen it before

It was crowded with happy people heading somewhere

It was just another beautiful day on the island. You could easily see Goat island in the distance

The drainage field for the septic system has been completed and covered over; and they are now working on building a retaining wall around the covered areas, so that brickwork can be laid.

The amphitheater itself seems to be about ready

They continue to expand the large retaining pond behind the amphitheater...

They are also creating parking areas on both sides

I've heard of street sweepers... but roof sweepers? They are getting the park and grounds ready for a festival or something?

Roadwork continues from one end to the other

Its only a job?

I was given the assignment by one of my readers (Trent Aldan) to find their home up on Marpo Heights. I was told that his home was to the right of Sylvestre Palacios. Here is my first attempt:

I was told that the home of Sylvestre Palacios was to the right of this two-story home

That would make this the home of Sylvestre Palacios... and to the right of his home:

is this home, of which I have taken three pictures:

Hope this helps! It is in a nice area, and was across the street from the new addition with the solar heaters on the roof.

Here are what look like some cactus plants... I still have a tough time accepting cactus plants on a tropical island!

There is always a great view from Marpo Heights. You can see the ocean gleam in the distance. I was lucky on my walk today--the rain seemed to go right around me!

This is Rama Ula from Bangladesh, India. He works for the Ben Manglona family. He was hard at work cutting grass from the side of the road to feed some deer. I guess the family has five deer they keep... I suppose it is no different than keeping cattle!

Here are what I assume are some of Tinian's famous hot peppers!

There are just a few trees that are beginning to bloom. In a couple of months the flame trees are supposed to come out in full.

The community time and temperature sign is back in place and working again. It was 80 when I left on my walk, and 86 when I returned.

They continue to dig a big hole in the middle of town, between the two main roads.
