Teiva,
Bonjour... comment ca va? I
had the good fortune to visit Tahiti as a tourist and spend 10 days on
Moorea... felt like crying when we left... yup... paradise! But some things
sure are expensive... like eating out... we spent a lot of time eating
baguettes and fromage avec des fruits.
One night it was clear
and the Milky Way was just on fire... a cloud came in front of the Sagittarius
region and it looked as if the full moon was behind the cloud there was so
much light streaming out from the cloud! Amazing... I never thought that at
sea level it could be so clear, but you have zero air pollution down there I
guess... we were there in the "dry" season, too. Anyway, you have some amazing
skies when it's not cloudy. Hope to come down there again... anyone on the
list looking for a truly memorable vacation, visit Tahiti!
Have a good one,
Tony
