Kaday Stone Path, Yap, FSM
All of the villages on Yap have men's houses which you get to by walking a stone path. The one at Kaday is the best that we saw, so we visited it one last time on our last day in Yap.This is a picture of the path. All paths, most roads, and most boundaries in Yap are lined with Yellow or Red plants. The path is stone and you can see the worn part down the middle. It is the duty of the residents of the village to clean the plants out of the rocks and remove fallen trees or other debris.
You usually have give a tribute to the village to walk their path, $3 is common. You also need to ask permission to take people pictures, but when you do they stop what they are doing and pose with a smile. So no pictures of people doing common things.
We are in Guam at the moment, sleeping for 6 hours until our flight back to Japan, then Houston, and finally Dallas. The longest Thanksgiving ever! See y'all soon.
