This is one of the palm trees that line the pool. That's the Pacific Ocean (looking west) just below the near constant haze.

These birds were fairly rare, but on the first day I saw one walking in the channel just outside our room.� The contrast is way out of control.

These fish just hang out on the bottom in the flow.  From a distance, they look like some sort of grass just dragging in the current, but they are live.

This was shot on the wall in our resort complex. He lost his tail when one of janitors tried to pick him up. Cute. It was shot with my SB-28 on top of the camera. The Gecko is perhaps an inch long and definitely translucent

This is probably a common house Gecko - Hemidactylus frenatus - introduced from Asia, but I don't know Geckos well enough to be sure.

This was the child of a beggar just down the street who was suitable annoyed moments later when I walked by.  It took me a block to figure out the two people were related.

Thao told me to take this picture.  You've seen the Marina.

There were many postcards with images similar to this on them.

On the promenade, in downtown.

The church as seen from the promenade. If you look left from where I'm standing you see Subway and Hooters.

This is a church. It sticks out. It's me that's leaning. The location is an approximation at best.

I'm sure the crown in significant, the angels mean something and the column style means something. No idea what.

Mark Go-Karting. Push the the shutter speed way down and pan with the action.

This is a view from the resort looking west.

We went out to play in the waves most nights. See the "gods rays" in the clouds on the left? Annoying to have the tripod so far away.

This woman held out a cracker and the bird flew up, grabbed the cracker, and then flew around the boat for another pass.  Another guy held out a beer bottle but the bird didn't have as much luck.

This is one of the islands in the Mariattes islands in the middle of the bay

This cute little girl was sticking her head right out of the bus to see what was going on.  So cute I had to take a pic.

Vendor on the Promenade.  Cool colors but I think I needed to be about a dozen feet closer.  Still cool.

This is the canal between the pool and the rooms. We raced down this canal in a Kayak and saw some wildlife (birds) here.

This is the river by Chico's Paradise (down stream).
