A few weeks ago I finally set off on Tiki expedition to Manteca in search of the South Sea. I found my way to the local library but they had no phone books from the 60's or 70's. They did have one old city directory from the 60's and fortunately I found a listing for the restaurant with an address.

I made my way through the area until I found the remains of this temple in an old strip mall. I met with the locals but the chief wasn't in so I was not allowed to take pictures. I grabbed a business card and left snapping a quick picture of the remains of the tropical garden area outside with my phone camera.

I will return later when I can get permission take some proper photographs.
