Under the Sea on Moorea

Yesterday we snuck away from the hoards of honeymooners and went to a small island and lagoon off Moorea. First we swam amongst the stealth Sea Rays and actually held them, such gentle creatures. Then we had hours to snorkel above the reefs and watch the daily life that occurs under the clear waters. I got to try out my underwater casing for my Olympus 710 and it was so much fun trying to capture the multi-colored fish for showing back home.

After I got back to the hotel I ended up eating dinner with a young very pregnant Spanish woman who is having a fling with an ultra wealthy New Zealand businessman. As we chatted I looked around at all the young couples and realized that people must have thought we were also. I also realized that I must have looked like an old geezer starting a new family with this young girl. I felt kind of sorry for this pleasant girl, Mr. Rich had to cancel the trip and was home with his wife. Life sure seems easier out on the reef!
