Moorea is one of the S. Pacific islands that is part of the Society Islands and one of the 5 major island groups that form French Polynesia. It has become a main tourist destination because of its striking landscape and close proximity to Tahiti.
Again, we found an abundance of shopping close to the pier. There was resort wear and again jewelry, mainly using the black pearls. In French Polynesia, there3 are literally hundreds of atolls with pearl farms. The black pearl is the souvenir coveted by most tourists.
Rick Starr was the entertainer, a comic who kept us laughing for an hour.

Hi Jack & Shirley,
We look forward to your blogs every morning when we get up, then we track your trip on our globe (we also have one of the talking globes and have alot of fun with it, Eugene bought it about 2 years ago and we have really enjoyed it, especially now)we tried to find Moorea on it but couldn't, must have been too small but we did find a map of it on the computer, it sounded very interesting.
We had to have weber refrigeration come up yesterday to check how to get more heat in Eugene's bathroom and the person was Scott Stewart so we talked about your trip.
The pictures are really good that you send back, we enjoy seeing them, we are going on a trip in Feb. with two of his brothers and wives down to Florida and then a cruise to the Bahamas.
Keep the information coming.
Eugene & Shirley
