Aroha Harro,
Wow, that's a stellar travelogue, indeed. Kudos on a fine trip and some superb photos. Those are commercial bought slides, right? Hah ha ha haa! That's an old trick of my Dad's, as he was fundamentally unable to take a decent photo. The post-vacation slide show would be crap shot after crap shot, then "BAM!" a perfectly focused and composed image. We caught on, eventually.

Fun to read about your trip, it certainly made me envious. I do get around a bit but a trip to Rapa Nui is high on my list of places to visit. It's a big world and many places to see, first Branson, MO then Rapa Nui I guess. Congrats on making it there, looks like a real exciting and interesting excursion.

The pictures are too good, some of them should be postcards. Ah haa!, I figured it out. Do tell how you got such nice pics. I am thinking it's a super high-priced camera, that's the one thing keeping me from taking such photos, of course. That, and I inherited my Dad's photography skills. Killer pics! Like these two shots, amazing:

Now, any word on the club sandwich scene there? Moais and ancient culture aside, they do serve an acceptable club, right?

ps. In one of the travel magazines I receive there's a long article this month on Rapa Nui. Might be "Travel & Leisure".
