We found a grocery store where we bought a
few items and got French Polynesian francs that way. We found an internet café
easily but there were only six computers. I couldn’t use my stick to upload and
Bill couldn’t use his computer which he had hauled all over in his backpack.
The computer
had a different keyboard and that slowed me down considerably. It was not as
difficult to use as the ones in Japan but still not easy. For one thing, you
have to shift for a period. I guess they don’t use periods much.
I looked at
my blog and discovered that I haven’t uploaded some entries that I believed I
had uploaded. I saw the message from Stevie and from Ted. I think I answered
Ted’s question about the crew.
I saw some flowers on the sink when I used a public restroom. The flowers grow wild here.
And we can’t go on any long walks so that leaves
out visits to places that don’t allow scooters. This town is not set up for
them and so Bill struggled along with his walker.
I was able to
look at both my AOL email and my Gmail accounts. I am happy to discover that
some of you are following along on the blog. It’s just too hard to use email on
the ship. It’s very slow.
I took this when we were sailing away from Raiatea.
