July 14: Green Island with our cousins.Greek and Susan came over in the morning, and we spent much of the day at the Chaikau area where we went snorkeling. Greek had a good underwater camera, and he let me use it. This was the first time I'd used a good underwater camera, and I took many pictures. At night we had a good view of the stars. |

| The colors and patterns on some bathing suits for sale on Green Island seemed like the styles from my early childhood in the late 1960s and 1970s. | The main street in Nanliao Haror, the main town and main street on Green Island. | Some of Greek’s diving gear at Chaikou Diving Area on the north coast of Green Island. | This is a little fan (battery-operated electric fan to blow some air on your face to cool off) our friend 王璐滢 Tibby Wang gave us in Mudanjiang. |
