Just Pictures, Tonga

Above and below.  I am fascinated by their beautifully decorated graves.  They always have artificial flowers on them.  This one above is fancier than most, people with more money.  The less expensive grave sites are just mounded by rocky dirt.  They have to keep them in good condition.  If someone else dies in the family they might move the bones over and add the newly deceased in the same place.  I they are very poor they might be just wrapped in cloth.  All graves are above ground.

Above and below, some sunsets.  Beautiful.

This is a blowhole beach.  As far as you can see, the breakers explode on the rocks.  It is quite a sight.  They said that this is a small evening--it can get way bigger.

This was the piggy we ate at the buffet during the dinner show.

Above the girl dances prettily using her hands to gently tell the story.  Below, the guys on the other hand dance with great vigor, doing quick head jerks and they really get into it.  They were so much fun to watch.
