More Moorea

After a wonderful evening with Paula and Tom on board for dinner, we took our snorkeling gear with us on Worm and took off for the little village that Paula wanted to see, around the corner next to the Black Pearl Resort. We ventured into town from the beach and watched as Paula shopped......... definitely a sight to behold. She gets so wired from it! It is fun being next to her, watching the animation and excitement take hold. 


After the shopping spree from which I did benefit, we had a really expensive Mai Tai at the Resort to just celebrate as the clouds and wind began to appear. We did a short rather disappointing snorkel in front of the resort and made our way back to Sidewinder for lunch, hoping to adventure out and do more snorkeling in the afternoon. We ended up spending the afternoon just hanging and David befriended the Tahitians on a beautiful Tahitian sailboat in the bay and played music with them, as Paula, Tom and I took a walk. We had fun wandering around looking for a place to have dinner, but were quite tired when it finally happened. 


Today is a tour of the island by car and hopefully we will find a little hiking and snorkeling as we adventure out. It is really delightful having a chance to touch base with great friends. We are trying to get email at the Bali Hai but so far, Tom has been unsuccessful. We will send pics as soon as we can. Love, S.
