Vanuatu

I loved Vanuatu I think mainly because of the culture but especially because of the quirky art that was on display.

Before I get to the art I thought that this photo of a view from one of the hills we were on says it all--peaceful--beautiful--green------

Me looking out the bus door--I played the little old lady to perfection so that the handsome young tour guide helped me on and off the bus.

We went to a Museum where this local man explained his culture to us and then he proceeded to play songs for us on this instrument.He played a local song then Advance Australia Fair and lastly Silent Night---magical.
He also did this piece of sand art whereby the sand was contained in a screen and he started to draw and he never took his finger off the drawing until it was finished--Inspirational.

We went to a village where these shop dummies were painted and embellished on the side of the path in front of a house.
In the same village was this concrete wall with these sculpted figures --so clever.

Tree roots on top of the ground--definitely some inspiration here.

Finally a totem pole in the same village--definitely some very talented people live here.
