Zaida and I would go for walks and he would pick oranges and grapefruits off the neighbors trees (they had an apartment, no trees of their own). It wasn't pamplemousse, but the freshest citrus juice around.<br />Isn't amazing how the lifestyle on the islands can really show you the kindness of others, the side that we don't often get to see in our hugely populated cities!Maureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12150282661398291861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620301312037642296.post-78934530897496465532011-05-19T06:11:31.208-07:002011-05-19T06:11:31.208-07:00Nice description of your first impressions of Nuku...Nice description of your first impressions of Nuku Hiva - it's so clear that I can almost feel like I'm there with you. There are so many wonderful and welcoming places and people in this world and you are so lucky to be able to experience this all first hand. By the way, I'm sure glad that you don't attempt to swim in those waters!<br />Picking fresh fruit from a tree is always the best! Perhaps when you get home you can start a new hobby like planting a garden with your favorite fruit and vegetables. I'm sure you would have lots of takers/eaters for that!<br />Love hearing from you and I miss you all lots ... x x xbubbiefredahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260439263973176829noreply@blogger.com
