On returning, my brother, Kim, and I found 1000 Tahitian francs, dividing it equally amongst ourselves. I don't know how Kim spent her lot, but my brother took a liquid lunch (a local beer called HINANO) in spite of being only 16 years old. As for me, I flagged down a truck and headed for Papeete. The restaurant at our hotel had already closed and the cuisine de Beach Comber was too expensive for my tastes. It was against the rules for even the adults to stray away from the group. However, I was too hungry to care about the rules. I knew how to flag down a truck, I knew the language, and felt safe in Tahiti. Furthermore, my parents, the leaders of our group, were still in Moorea. I went to the same parking lot of truck-restaurants and took chopped steak and chips with bottled water to wash it all down. On the way back to the hotel, I met a native named Patrick Tai, who instantly became my friend and we have written a bunch of letters since then. Leave a Comment
