As Time Goes By

Here’s a few more pictures from our cruise.  The first (formal night) shows ‘Dapper Dad’. Hey!  Remember Dapper Dan that many of you played with (to keep quiet) in sacrament–tying, snapping, zipping, buttoning, lacing, etc?  Anyway, the shirt is a blue pinstripe…and, he looked GOOD!

Here we are at dinner on the second formal night…our group loved it–if people did not dress up, they were not allowed to join everyone in the formal dining room.  It was fancy and quite enjoyable.

Now a bit more casual, here we are at the temple.  What a lovely setting and a nice time had by all.    The Church is so prominent in the Islands that all our tour guides knew where the temple and chapels were and the people who were members (even if they, the guides, were not).

So, of course, there are a few more pictures–we’ll probably add another installment later–we don’t want you to overdose on pictures of Mom and Dad.

We enjoyed our ten-day cruise in French Polynesia.  Our ‘cruise crew’ as the kids call them were delightful to travel with–the Thorstensons, Taylors, and Jacobsons from our Ward. We visited Tahiti, Huahine, Raratonga, Raiatea, Bora Bora, Moorea, and back to Papeete.  Yes…needless to say, it was wonderful and we are pinching ourselves and wondering if we really went; it was so surreal. The tans are real…however, they will fade, but we have lots of memories.   We’ll post a few pictures because, as it is said, ‘a picture is worth a….’

Here is our cruise ship

And here we are in Bora Bora

One of our tour guides–boatmen, I’m convinced, is Bloody Mary’s Bro.

He was particularly ‘charming’ when he laughed and stuck his tongue between two of his top teeth (where at least one is missing).

Okay, Jon, I took your challenge…here is the first post.
