I have a bunch of great photos I still want to post from our trip so if you're interested, here are some more of my favorite memories from Tahiti. One tip, if the Slide show ends, click the X at the top right corner of the black screen to start it up again.
Moorea.
We spent 3 days in Moorea where life began for my DH. It was fun for him to reminisse with his brothers and visit family still living there. I find it fascinating that Ram still remembers vividly the first soda he ever drank. We visited the Magasin Lai Assan where he bought his first Fanta Raisin and a sandwich then sat down outside and let the satisfaction of being a real man finally wash over him at the tender age of 5 or 6. Oh to remember something as trivial as that in this day & age. It's amazing. We visited Ram's grandparents graves. We couldn't make it to his grandma's funeral last year so this was a sentimental visit for us.
Vairea's parents were kind enough to let all 35+ of us stay in their vacation home and thanks to Vairea and Teamo for staying behind to thoroughly clean up after all of us. And merci one more time to Vairea who always seemed to be stuck with the arduous task of dicing onions for the family. We were all so well cared for and fed this trip.
While in Moorea Ram and I passed our 15-year anniversary without much fanfare. In fact, we spent much of that evening at the ER with Zeth getting him treated for a painful ear infection. His teeth are taking their sweet time coming out and it hasn't been easy on this little guy. I'm happy to report he did work his first two teeth through his gums last Friday, 8/1/08 and they are progressing quite nicely now.

those were such fun memories for you! thanks for sharing a taste of tahiti with us. it's still a mind-boggler to me that this is your life. weren't we sprung from the same roots? you're so exotic now!
♥ you!!!
i turned the set on to keep me company whilst folding laundry (kids were playing with friends, doc was sleeping) and discovered "Oh yeah, the olympics!" it was 1/2 way through the parade of nations, so i caught the rest through lighting the cauldron. by then the whole family had returned and my laundry was done.
impressive lighting ceremony. i loved the symbolism of the guy flying through the air on wires in the bird nest...like a flaming phoenix or something.
