Tahiti #3

Monday we got a board Dr. Poole’s dolphin watch with 2 other couples and 30 minutes in the engine failed so we had to limp back to the dock on the emergency small engine.  We rented a car and circled the island stopping at belvedere   look out and a black pearl shop where Kay chose pearls for his daughters. We walked to the fish marked and bought Mahi-mahi The ward Primary President took us to her family’s pineapple plantation and we picked pineapple and mangos.  We stopped at the area authority’s house and he happened to be home.  He filled us up on fruits. Garline showed Kay the sticks they use to get the mangos off the trees. we stopped at the pineapple processing plant  and saw trucks lined up for their drop off. These are what they call Tahitian Christmas trees, they only bloom in December.
