Warning: Tahitian Picture Overload coming up!
Heading over to the island of Tetiaroa.
Could it be more beautiful?
Bird Island...hence all the birds.
Jeff trying to decide if the coral was really coral or a ray.
Please ignore the butt-cheeks in the above picture! The scenery is awesome, though.
Loved the black sand beaches.

Unfortunately, it did rain, but didn't ruin anything we had planned.
Pepeete's marketplace, not as cool as the smaller shacks on the other islands you could shop at.
Passed the Sister Missionaries and had to stop to say hi. There were about 10 LDS Church buildings around the island of Tahiti (only about 65 miles around). The sisters thought I was so funny that I would want to stop and talk to them. When I asked where there were from, they said "here" because they are called on missions to French Polynesia if they are from there. Most of them speak 3-4 languages: French, Tahitian, the Native Tahitian language that I forgot the name of, and English.
Don't mind the fat lady in the picture...the waterfall was awesome. It had been raining and so we hiked in our swimwear to the waterfalls. The force of the waterfall was unreal. We couldn't even get close because even where I was standing I was getting pushed away. It was hard to even look toward the waterfall at that distance because the waterfall was so big from the runoff.
A different waterfall taken using our super-small travel tripod from walmart.
After the rain, there were tons of spontaneous waterfalls coming from everywhere in the mountains, I wish I wouldn've taken a picture where there were like 40-50 waterfalls coming out of the side of the mountains.Ah, so beautiful.
I loved seeing random fruit trees growing everywhere and gecko's and such.
If you travel this way..the place to stay is on Moorea at the Sofitel Resort.

Amazing.
There were chickens everywhere on the islands. I was amused.
Okay, I hope you can see this. The mountain looks like a woman looking up to the sky.
Just like in the movies!
Seriously, those dark spots in the water are reef sharks, stingrays, and eels.
I didn't last too long in with the sharks. They kind of freaked me out. And, I kept thinking that Steve Erwin thought stingrays were safe until he got stung in the heart and now he's dead. I got out and took pictures.
And not very good pictures at that. You'd think I would've taken good cool pictures of Jeff touching the rays and sharks, but instead I ended up with ones that looked like Jeff was having a stare-down with the rays.
Paradise in a picture.
