Thank you for your patience, our friends! Luana's mother underwent emergency surgery last week, leaving us with very little time to for anything else. Her mom is doing well now so here is our next installment, again, with no text. Enjoy the fantastic pictures though as we found Tahiti the high point of our trip. No surprises there, we guess!
