We've been able to travel many interesting places and take some great photos. This section of our web site is here to allow you to share the memories. Here is a "arm-chair" tour of Yap as we found it in April of 1998.

Yap is an interesting mix of traditional customs (stone money, LavaLava skirts, women with bare breasts, but covered thighs, grass skirts) with new methods (jeans, Zip codes, an Area code, etc.)

Here the women perform a traditional sitting dance.

Jet service to Yap was available only on Continental Micronesia (formerly Air Micronesia) and only on Wednesdays and Sundays. One of the Guam-to-Palau flights stops at Yap on the way down and back on those days. If every person on those planes got off, only 250 or so could visit per week! Since Guam is 7 hours from Honolulu, which is 5 hours from Los Angeles, the question is why fly for the better part of two days to come to Yap? The answer is easy: the culture, the wonderful people, and Mantas!
