Day Four Hundred and Thirty-Five

The First Full Moorean Day

Walking to breakfast has never been more beautiful. Right outside our bungalow, the view is immaculate. The waters here are crystal clear and the bluest blues and teals we’ve ever seen. It’s magical.

Directly behind our bungalow, a little inlet enhances the view of a most lush and jagged mountain peak in the richest shades of green imaginable.

Maybe 100 yards from our hut, the gym bungalow is nestled neatly in the corner of the resort. Not many people use this little gem, but Adam had no problems finding it and making it his own. We’re convinced that we’re the only guests who've even seen this place…simply because they offer FREE water here. And that’s something special. Because a bottle of water on Moorea can run you a pretty penny. We spent 8 bucks on a liter of water before we learned how to swindle the operation.

This is the view directly out the back left of our room. Our little lagoon is the simplest definition of paradise. The bungalow we’re staying in is half on land, half on water – just like these ones – and it’s wonderfully romantic!

I wasn’t feeling the best yesterday – a mixture maybe of the sickness I caught back in Washington, the extreme emotions that came with that week, and the long plane ride here – so Adam enjoyed both our shares of fun. He went crazy yesterday. He told me that living with him for the rest of my life is going to be just like having another oversized kid around. I’ll take that! Adam was jumping off things, flipping off things, and drinking yummy things while doing it.  He’s the best.

After long, relaxing, and perfect hours of snorkeling, swimming, and “tanning,” the two of us enjoyed our first Moorean sunset. We must be on the opposite side of the island because we couldn’t actually watch the sun set, but we could watch the sky paint itself from blue to pink to purple to black.  And Adam watched it from the warmth of our little lagoon.
