Tahiti

On February 1 we visited Papeete, Tahiti.  We took a taxi, with an English speaking driver who knew quite a lot about the native flowers and their medicinal uses, but very little about Tahiti and nothing about speaking either French or Tahitician.  We saw a breadfruit tree, and then we saw tons of breadfruit trees.  These were the trees that Captain Blye went to get on the Bounty.  We saw a lovely blowhole, with water coming from all over.  It was great.  Tahiti is a very populated island with a lot of traffic and tons of houses. 
 
We are on our way to Roratonga, in the Cook Islands, where less people live.
 
Here are some pictures of Tahiti.

Oh see the pictures now. Must be the democrat in me. Did you know at caucus here Obama and Romney.

Huge turn out. 448 dems last year 40, that's about 11% of regist dems. Republicans had 659 which is far less % as you have to be registered republican in Montrose to get work.
