Travel Day means an early check out at 10 and 3 hours to wait until the taxi picked us up to take us to the airport to go to Papeete.
Finally sat and had food at Tiare right across the street. There was live music and he was really good. He did one song that I really liked and it wasn’t on Shazam. But I am glad I heard it and him sing it. He normally plays during the morning/lunch on Weds. We were lucky to hear him on Thurs. because the Thursday musician had asked him to cover.
Mary and derivatives are popular here. I met two Marys and one Marianne within walking distance of the hotel. The last Mary was at the Te Ara Museum. She had five kids, 4 of which she said were in their 40s with kids of their own.
She was running around because they were doing investiture that day for her matriarchal side of the family.
Switching gears traveling to Papeete.
La Orana not Kia Orana
Maururu not Meitaki Ma’ata
Oui not si (totally random)
Stuff from the U.S. and Hawai’i as little treats goes a long way to light up someone that takes the time to help you out and provide some light during your vacation in Raro and Papeete for sure. Both of which you won’t find in their local shoppettes.
