Newly Arrived (but Not New) Photos

I received these random photos from Suzi and David today. The top ones harken back to the Galapagos Islands; the bottom ones are from French Polynesia: the eclipse, dancers and David's favorite beer. (He loves that photo and insisted I post it.) Personally, I am most impressed with the picture of David and the coconut. What happened to his "Buddha belly"? Is the man ripped or what? No really, ladies, double click on this and blow it up. It's impressive. S&D also want everyone to know that they will be leaving for Huahine on Wednesday and will be in transit among the western isles of French Polynesia for the next week or so. They can only be reached by sailmail after Wednesday.

P.S. Message from Suzi at the bottom.



The photos David sent certainly don't capture the wonderful essence of the Tahitian people, especially the women. I was hoping the dancing pictures would be good, but they are terrible. Even while I shopped in the city yesterday, I noticed that the women are so genuinely warm from the inside out, even as they drive in traffic, and they seem to flow through life. Each with a beautiful plumeria flower in her ear, eyes very bright and attentive, erect in proud posture, she smiles with inner power, and the dancing just accentuates that. I am sure this is a sweeping generality, but it truly is profound. I certainly have a great deal to gain from just being around the Tahitian women, both young and old!  -Suzi
