Above: This 12-year-old boy climbs coconut palms with ease. He took Taylor and his companion to a waterfall near his home.
Below: Pohnpei is a dense jungle and the second wettest place on earth with up to 400 inches of rainfall per year. It rains more or less daily there. (Fortunately, Taylor has always loved rain.)

Below: Pohnpei is called "The Garden Isle of the Pacific." This is an orchid he came across. He is in the jungle area of the island (the south side).
Below: Pohnpei is near the equator so the temperature hovers around 90 degrees years-round. People spend all of their time outdoors, needing protection only from the rain. (They have almost no crime and no poisonous species of animals or insects.)
