And, life on Hiva Oa continues...day 23. It's Mother's Day here. The family is off to the cemetery with flowers and wearing flower head wreaths...such a sweet family. George ( pizza chef son) made croissants today...so flaky better than the bakery.
Off to the boat to retrieve the Solarcaine ( not for sunburn -we're still a bit pale) for a rash. Dad, so glad we brought some.
Yesterday, we enjoyed an E ticket ride( for those of you not old enough that's the most adventurous rides at Disneyland and you only got 2 in the pack). In our Make Make rent a jeep, we saw wild goats, historical tikis, swam at a nice beach(not clear but less muddy)and drove (on the edge of the hillsides with ocean below)through dense terrain of palm trees and pines among other beautiful vegetation. When near an old palm plantation (copra production ) the roads were paved. Paul was an expert driver but we could have used one of your kidney belts( right, Guy, Scott & Kelly) used on dirt bikes).
Happy Memorial Day! And, so summer begins for you. Sunny here at the moment. Hugs to you all. Love, Leslie
Wow !! By the time you get off that island people will think you are natives !! Still sounds like a Grand Adventure though! Local customs seem interesting and amazing and lucky for you that you are getting to see them in action !! Love you Both..Chris and Bob
