Our visit to Papeete brought us so many wonderful memories. The island is quite a bit larger than Bora Bora, so we were unable to see all of it on this visit.
This picture has a terrific story behind it. You see, during a land tour our guide took us to see a blow hole near the beach. It is unique in that when wave's crash to the shore it shoots a spray of water into the air with great force for a dramatic display. What you cannot see however is that this particular blow hole continues under the highway, up through the mountain and exits near the side of the road. The local children love to stand near it for the rush of air the waves cause. We were able to capture this shot of the kids - and their smiles tell the real story. We were so intrigued by it that we had to experience the thrill for ourselves. First up to the plate was Joe and Roy - Roy managed to loose his had to the gust of air. Next it was Nancy and Paula - and let's just say this "Gals - hold on to your shirt." Nancy's shirt was - well, let's just say hold on!
