Here are a few photos from Raiatea. I wish I could say I had some underwater ones, but unfortunately, I don't! The dive was amazing - another drift dive, with a strong current, but not near as strong as Rangiroa.
Once I'm in the water, I really don't want to get out! It's so warm & clear & the sea life is amazing! As I only did a one tank dive, I returned to the ship & dragged Jaco out. We wandered around the downtown area, which wasn't very big, and then walked over to a little marina where there were quite a few run down sailboats. Along the way we spotted a couple picked shells & filling a 1.5L water bottle with them. I am assuming they are making jewelry with them, but I didn't ask.
Jaco & I narrowly missed a few downpours. Even the rain is nice, because it's warm! I love it! We stopped in at the grocery store & picked up a few things. I am still amazed at how expensive everything is. I was told yesterday that if you can 'create' the same thing in French Polynesia, Customs charges you 70% import tax on that same item! Crazy! Anyhow, I don't know how it compares, but one price that I can remember is approximately $5-6 for a small packet of whole wheat spaghetti. Mom - you can let me know what it is at Planet Organic! I'm sure it will be less than that!
Anyhow, we wandered around, just enjoying the day & each other... It was fantastic! I am so blessed to be here now! Okay, off to Bora Bora... :o)
Love & sunshine,
Maria & Jaco

Note the leaves closed. You touch them with your fingers & they close. Amazing!
I could easily spend a long time here!
