Our friends Anne & Ale flew in from Denver to spend 9 days with us in Tahiti/Moorea. We spent our first day in Tahiti together on an island tour with Corrine.

Point Venus where Captain Cook hoped to view the passing of Venus. Unfortunately it was a cloudy night.
Tahitian boats stored on stilts.
Coastline just past Point Venus good for surfing and kiting
One of Tahiti's lovely waterfalls
We stopped at a lovely fruit juice stand and had pamplemousse-pineapple juice.
The owners had a lovely herb guardian, chickens and amazing lettuce, squash and tomatoes planted (among others)

Teahupo'o is a big deal surfing spot on Tahiti iti. It produces some of the most challenging waves to surf in the world.
This is the closest I will likely get to surfing.

It doesn't look impressive now. Check out these videos of Laird Hamilton surfing in Teahupo'o
We are enjoying beautiful gardens outside of Papeete
Beautiful koi and water Lilly ponds
And...after a long day sail to Moorea the next day, Radlers and nuts!
