Our visit to the island of Tanna

These happy faces caught a ride in the back of our truck!! All very legit in Vanuatu

This is an active Volcano, Mt. Yasur. You can go right up on the rim and look in but we did not have time this trip.

You can see the volcano smoking in the back, you hear a rumble and then see the burst of ash,

The workers ready to build a new shelter.

The recipient of the new shelter, this is one of the two widows, this is their home that will be replaced,

This is the gas station on Tanna. the pump runs of a tank that is filled up from barrels of diesel.

The barrels, How do they get these barrels you might ask?

 That's right, they just push those barrels of the ship and some people swim out and push them into shore. Then they just carry them up to the gas station!

The Banyan trees grow everywhere here. The tree does not grow from a seed falling on the ground but must fall on a nearby tree. It then starts to grow on the tree sending roots down and growing until it finally kills the tree it has taken over,
