Yesterday we visited the village of 200 and its two grocery stores, a snack bar with crepes, and a post office. Also took a look at a pearl  farm operation next to the village. Currently there are four sailboats here, 2 French, 1 New Zealander, and Petite Ourse. For the most  part the weather has not been great with high winds and mostly cloudy skies. The previous night skies were clear enough to see the  moon rising above the lagoon near the village.
Nous avons visite le village principal de l' atoll, de 200 habitants. Bien entretenu avec un quai tout neuf pour la visite hebdomadaire du  cargo Dory. Nous commencons a savoir pourquoi et comment les perles noires de Polynesie ont des tons et reflets allant du dore au  turquoise ou a l' aubergne... Passionnant!
