Final blog post: Last night at Le Taha'a

My final blog post for this blog:

Today is the last day at Le Taha'a! i got up, and went to work right away. I snuck away for a bit to go get something to eat and then went back to work. For lunch I had a good cheeseburger, fries, and what they call Taha'a cup for dessert. Its a big cup of ice cream, chocolate, whipped cream, and sliced bananas, aka amazing.

I got to see the kitchen today and the chefs. It was cool to see them do their work. I snapped a few photos and got to see some of the desserts the pastry chef was working on for tonight. I watched him use a blow torch to heat up some sugar ring so it would stick to the plate better. it was impressive to watch.

After that we did some snorkeling at the coral gardens. It was really cool to see the fish one last time. Too bad we didn't have better sun today because those fish are so dang friendly.

We also went into the pool for a while after that to cool down and snap some pics. I tried to do my bubble smoke rings but i wasn't doing too well. I need to practice that more to get better.

We went to the buffet and dance show tonight. It was really cool to see the traditional tahitian dancers preform and to listen to the traditional live music. I snapped a lot of photos of them, some of the shots came out pretty nice I think. It is always a challenge when you shoot something new that you haven't shot before, but mid way through I figured out a good configuration for the type of shooting. They also had a fire dancing show which was really cool to watch.

For dinner I had a whole bunch of tuna sashimi, taro, chicken, beef, pork, seared tuna steak…. sushi… I ate a lot. I tried each of the desserts.. all of them were awesome. Once we get back to mat's house I am going to train so hard haha. I might even run again lol.

This is the end of my first month here. Writing this blog has been fun but wow it takes a lot of my time at night! I'm yawning as I write this.. and I have to be up in 5 hrs to work! I wish I could keep writing this blog during my whole three month stay but I don't think it's possible. I need sleep so I don't miss my 6am local time meetings.

If you want to know what I am up to just send me a message:)

Thanks for reading,
