Baby photos.
This photo is a rarety for a number of reasons, not the least
of which is the fact that I was allowed to take it at all.
All of the chiefs of Koiovo village in central Maewo performed
a tabu dance at the end of our stay there. Usually these events
are closed to outsiders and photography is strictly prohibited.
This man was one of the two lead dancers, a position that probably
took him most of his life to attain.

Pope John Paul II's visit to Timor-Leste in 1989 is marked as a seminal moment in Timorese history. Many resistance members saw this affirmation by a world leader as critical to driving popular support for the cause of Timorese independence. This monument commemorating his visit was unveiled in June, 2008.
