Omi Around the Island

You’re probably sick of all of this stuff about Tahiti. Blah Blah Blah. Yes, I know. I mean, it’s been over a month since we got back. I really haven’t had much time to blog as of late. I apologize! I’m a horrible blogger. :(

Anyway, in the first week that we got to Tahiti, we were able to take a bus tour around the island.

With a few stops here and there, it took us about 5 hours to take the main road that goes all the way around. We stopped at a waterfall, saw an abandoned lighthouse, swam in a grotto, and even had time to eat at the Mcdonalds in Tahiti.

Here are some bus shots from my window:

First, we stopped at Point Venus:

We walked on a pretty nature trail:

Then, we went to a grotto filled with lilipads:

Stuck our feet in the water of a hollowed cave on the other side:

And we even ate at Mcdonalds for lunch! (Totally had to). It was actually pretty good. Notice the Mcbagette! Pretty pricey at $22 though. -_-

All in all, it was the perfect day! We got to see the entire island from the view of an air conditioned tour bus. Totally worth the $50.

Garden Inspiration

Earlier I said that I wanted to post some of my inspiration pictures for gardening, including some ideas I had on what I want. Today is the day, my friends! I’ve been so excited to start working on my garden – I’ve been to Home Depot more times this week than my whole life combined. I just wanted to look around, get some ideas, and buy some small pots and plants. Martin took me and bought lots of flowers and pots for me. Yaaayy! I love him.

On Saturday, we went to Armstrong Gardening Supplies to get some ideas and it just so happened to be across from our favorite dinner place, Honda-ya. We found a lot of cool stuff!

Isn’t this planter cute attached to the wall?

I hope I can get a fountain!

I want tons and tons of pots too:

A walkway kind of like this:

And succulents just like Anthropologie:

I’m so excited! I need some of my friends to come and garden with me, I promise it’s fun! And I’ll even let you eat one of the strawberries from my garden! But there’s only like 3 right now…so first come, first served! Hah.
