So here I am back in Moorea, and it seems more and more like home now. The mosquitoes really are something else, but apart from that I was very glad to catch up with Viriamu and puppy! OK so now he looks more like a small dog rather than a puppy, with an extremely fine pair of ears, it's all very exciting ... I think he must have a little bit of Doberman in him, but your guess is as good as mine!

As for the taro let's just say that it did not fare as well as the dog. I guess young taro needs care and attention, so two weeks without being watered was disastrous! Note that the rows that survived were under our leaky gutter.
