mr. Painindaas,
thank you...just thinking about this line has brightened me for days...I've so much enjoyed the time travel and phase
shifting and dream catching.
I've been so accustomed to the 'discomfort' for so long, I don't even ask it to go away any more; but I would like to
say goodbye to the 'white-light' flares and unintended contact with the ground when my ankles fall out.
My perfect day would go back about six/seven years( I was better then) and require funding, but Tahiti would be the
location. I'd also want a supporting cast that included an old girl friend ( the one I should have asked) and her kids
and husband.
There's a little kinda rundown hotel on the beach in Arue; up before the sun and drive into the center of Papeete to
the bon marche...on Sunday mornings the whole island is there buying fruits and veggies, fresh fish and meats,
baby pigs, still living chickens, recently living rabbits and flowers and flowers and flowers. Crowds can hit 5,000
or more... rock and roll bands play in the streets around the market...there are lotteries and beauty queens, drunks,
punks and gendarmes...you could find an engine for a dc10 or just about anything else you might want...it's a wild tyme.
The makings for a bbq are easy to find and cheap...and some pate and fresh bread too. Book a day trip to Bora Bora
for hubby and the kids; and B...and I get a day to play.
Drive out to point venus and enjoy the beach scene for a while...warm water and baby surf on a black sand beach.
Then down to the gaugin museum and botanical gardens. Lunch in Punaauia at a hotel with pig roast and dance show.
Laze the afternoon away back on the beach in Arue...look for James Norman Hall's gravesite, go to the horse races,
drink some Hinanoa, prep our stuff for the bbq...air traffic controlers stage a one day strike ( it's a french thing)
so hubby and the kids are stranded on bora bora
, we have a huge bbq for ourselves, watch the sunset over
Moorea and have night just for us.
- i never said i was nice, and he's a very understanding guy.
my old friend b died of cancer four years ago, I still miss her. It's just a fantasy,but that'd be a perfect day.
aloha Ben
