A Visit to a Special Part of the World, The Tuomotos
We arrived at the tiny aerodrome on the island of Rangiroa in the Tuamotu archipelago of French Polynesia - marveling at the narrow air strip surrounded on both sides by aquamarine waters.

ACRE (pronounced, ahh-cray) is known for its quiet setting among the naturally … [Read more...]
