Faaroa
Raiatea's river
the day was nice
we anchored in the Faaroa bay
and took our canoe to ride the river
a man was working in his papaya grove
he didn't say anything
but threw a few papayas into the river for us
we waved at him saying "mauruuru!" (thank you!)
he waved back
we went on, slowly, admiring chestnut trees deeping their roots into the river
and fisherman's boats taking a rest
till it was time to go back to our boat anchored in Faaroa Bay
and enjoy eating our papayas
what a beautiful day we had !
