After we left the DMV and Police Department we walked around town to take in a few more sites and spotted some more stone money.

Bill wandered into the Post Office and was surprised to find that it was the only place on the island that sold t-shirts with Yap, Micronesia. He got one for himself for about $5.00. I didn't want one because they only came in white and I don't like to wear white t-shirts.

The local people were going to perform a native dance show for us at 3:30 so we needed to get over there now! By the time we walked to the Community Center in the middle of town almost everyone from the ship was already there! It was hard to find a place to sit down but I did find a place to "land" and Bill walked around and took pictures for us.

Dance is a traditional art form in Yap. Through dance, legends are passed down, history is recorded and entertainment is created. The dances of Yap are raucous, colorful and well- orchestrated. Men and women both start at an early age to learn this special Yap dance tradition.
