Rapa Nui Cell Phones, originally uploaded by marafilms.


Yup, that¹s a cell phone ad about texting on the island.  Rapa Nui, and

Education from Day 1, originally uploaded by marafilms.


In recent years the National Park System and the Municipality have improved

Clear Skies, originally uploaded by marafilms.


After some crazy turbulence over Central America, we made it safely to
Santiago, Chile.  Then, hopping onto a LAN flight, we headed to Rapa Nui.
The flight was excellent, and actually being served a free meal on a flight
made me think of the glorious 90s.
LAN Chile is the only airline that [...]]]></description>

		<title>Last Goodbyes</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It's tradition to give flower leis to those arriving in Rapa Nui, and shell
leis to those who are leaving. Even now, as they did when I was a child,
the bright flowers smell incredibly sweet and the sharp shells pinch and
scratch the skin. After the flowers have wilted away, and the memories of
the island have faded into sepia, those shells always seem to remain. They
serve as a vivid and painful reminder that there exists a beautiful culture
and people whom I cannot be near to.]]></description>
