I spent a lot of time in the big banyan tree in front of the hotel......sad. What's left of their family now lives on those two houses up by themselves to the lookers' left of the hotel, and when Tutu (grandma) passes on, they might tear down those two and evict their relatives as well....too bad the hotels provide the economy and jobs or I would really hate them....
On a brighter note, this thread is tits! Some of the best photos I've seen in a while.
