moonin' my honey: i'm on a boat

i managed to go 366 days without ever 'finishing' our honeymoon adventures and wedding details. whoops. (not to mention my memory has already begun to fade, sad)

to summarize:
we arrived in paradise and kayaked
we went hiking and running
we ate firi firi, crepes and polynesian surf/turf
we swam, snorkeled and became bff's with the crepe man

on our last full day on the island of moorea, we scootered around the island again (the landscape was breathtaking) and went sailing.

eventually it was time to leave paradise - i failed to convince josh to stay and become a crepe maker. we took the ferry back to tahiti and boarded a plane for california. no offense los angeles, but you were a crappy destination after spending almost two-weeks in moorea.

a year ago, i was struggling with daily bouts of unexplained nausea and the honeymoon was no exception. i did not feel good during the few days we spent in la. in fact i spent one full day sleeping in the hotel... i am a party animal! josh is so lucky to be married to me. we did get out to see a few things other than the smog and interstate traffic -- such as grauman's chinese theatre, the getty and griffith observatory to name a few.

and that, my friends, is my anticlimactic end to the honeymoon adventures. i know you were waiting with anticipation this whole time.

moonin' my honey: tahitian run

we awoke thursday to a slightly overcast day. we lounged around until lunch, walked over to tupuna pizza for a tahitian pizza, only 1500xpfs (~$17US). i learned the word “maururu” (thank you, pronounced mau-ru-ru) from the pizza guy. josh called me a dork for learning "hello" and "thank you". more bungalow-lounging after lunch, laid out on the deck, had afternoon coffee, and went for a run around 4pm. i have no idea what the temp was, i’d guess low 80’s? but it was breezy and not-humid (and i didn't sweat back then either, while josh was dripping).
