Paynefest 2016 Moves to Tahiti

Paynefest continues post-wedding, which was epic by the way, in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.  We have taken the party to Tahiti! We flew in late Monday and spent the first half of Tuesday in the back of a pickup truck driving through the middle of the island. It was an incredible way to see Tahiti having only one day there before moving on. The mountains are filled with waterfalls and vegetation, a stark contrast to the barren hills of California. We were even able to get in the river for a bit to relax before we headed back to the hotel.

When we got back to the hotel we decided it was time to get in the water.  We walked right off the beach behind the hotel and snorkeled for a solid hour. I was very impressed at the immense diversity of fishes and inverts that are hidden so close the unsuspecting guests sunbathing just a couple hundred feet away. 

Once we were done we showered up, changed and went to the fancy hotel restaurant for dinner. I had tartare while Katie played it safe with the steak.  It was a fabulous way to end our first day!
