Tahiti

I admired the simple uninhibited life of the Tahitian Islands. Many of these islands are sparsely populated and can be enjoyed by renting a car and viewed leisurely in a few hours. On a few gallons of gas we drove completely around several of them.

All the basic infrastructure of French Polynesia is furnished by the government and the people seemed very happy to me. I learned to admire the French speaking people, and literally, found this place as close to paradise as life can get.

There’s not the glitter of skyscrapers, crime, and the social ills that befalls us here in America.

Among the islands, I saw a good example of what is really important in life. When the needs of food, shelter, and clothing are met, the rest of life is what you make it.

It’s a shame life, in the US, has been reduced to a struggle to financially survive medical bills and put food on the table for many families. And a good education can cost a family a small fortune.

Life’s not like that in these islands….
