This little girl is Oona's age and she danced for us on the beach with her mommy playing the ukele in the band. Her name is Mahana. She dances just like the grown women. I had tears in my eyes watching her innocence. We sailed all night to Bora Bora which is supposedly the most beautiful island of this chain. Marlon Brando filmed Mutiny On The Bounty here. The sailors mutinied because of the beautiful women among other things. Brando also married a Tahitian and lived here and had a hotel here.
I went for a drift snorkel this morning. The current is very fast and very strong. Really it felt more like body surfing. You just had to steer.
We have trouble staying connected.
Happy Birthday ! Sophie.
