Life on Timor

This is the Castaway restaurant, where we stopped to have a pizza as we were evaluating communications ashore at Dili, Timor-Leste, on 21 July 2008.



Kids playing soccer at the beach at Dili, Timor-Leste.



The grafitti on the wall says (approximately) "We refugees want judgment and justice." Some of the refugees have been living in tents for 6 years or longer.



This is the Catholic Church building located between the Hotel Timor and the lighthouse in Dili; about 98% of the Timorese are Catholic.



The BLZ at Dili, Timor-Leste, the reception area for people who will be going to USNS Mercy for medical care, on 21 July, 2008.



The Hotel Timor, just a couple of blocks away from the pier in Dili, Timor-Leste.
