Sunday, February 3rd - during the day:   We began with a Circle Island Tour by Marama Tours and their wonderful driver, Angel, who took us around the island of Tahiti.  Here are pictures from that tour.   To see more photos of what our group experienced on the Circle Island Tour click on the buttons above.   After the Circle Island Tour, the group went to Didi's best friend, Mairie's home in the evening and had a private quilt showing and a wonderful Tahitian dinner. Some of these photos were contributed by Christiane, Cheryl and Debbie.
