Alain and I had an epic car tour of the island today. Driving it at cruising speed takes about two hours. We stopped at Faaroa Bay and visited with a woman who Alain used to live with. Her house was beautiful. It was up on the hill with a sweeping view of the bay, and ocean, and mountains. We are going back there for dinner next week so I will try and get a photo. Mom would love her garden. We also stopped at a large Marae which was the spiritual center of all the islands in the past. Even the Hawaiians sailed here for social and spiritual occasions which is a long voyage. Here is a pic of a motu with Huahine in the background.
