off to aruba tomorrow but before i go, here’s this week’s picture of the week.
bora bora. november 2005. i had traveled to tahiti, moorea, bora bora and rangiroa with seven other journalists. the trip occurred during an especially monumental birthday. since my friends hadn’t organized anything in my honor, i accepted the invitation to fly to french polynesia for work. work it was, but at least i celebrated my birthday in paradise.
this was taken from a small island near the bora bora nui hotel. a local fisherman and his family had taken us journalists on a shark-petting excursion earlier in the day and we had become so famished from the fear, that they kindly grilled fish for us on this small outpost. mount otemanu is in the distance. still one of the most beautiful, tranquil places i have ever visited…
