Bora Bora













Bora Bora is like nothing either one of us have ever experienced. The unique geography produces a lagoon all around, with a single entrance for boats. We were on the water for more than 7 hours, with two different excursions--yes we both got sun burned despite extra extra precautions. With five different snorkeling stops--both stopped at what is known as the aquarium, the best photos are all underwater, which I can't share until we develop the disposable or a talk other passengers into letting me upload their SD cards. We floated over a school of 16 sting rays, and then played with 7 others, as that guide feeds them at the same spot each day. The rays would swim between us and bump into us and let us touch them. They are about 3' across. We also saw mountain ranges of beautiful coral and thousands of fish. Many times there would be 4 dozen fish within arm's reach and it was a bit weird to even move.

Over-water bungalows are big here as can be seen by one of the photos. Doesn't look like they have a Shoreline Management Act. Maybe Scott can get a job here as a consultant and help them out . . .

Location:Society Islands, French Polynesia

We had dinner last night with a physician friend of ours who was talking about his honeymoon in Bora Bora, how great to see these photos and to know you were there. The colors are so spectacular. Hey you aren't related to a photography family are you? Great photos.

I am so thrilled you have having such a great time, are you going to just stay on?

;-) Keep smiling when you can!
