    Beautiful pictures guys! I really miss Easter Island when looking at these. I guess I gotta come back here at some point, it was such a magical place! Good luck and keep the posts coming :)

      Thanks Monika! It was great meeting you there and we had a great time. Maybe we’ll plan a 5 year Easter Island reunion(?). When I get around to it, I need to put captions with the pics of you in it… so people won’t think you are an actual moai. 😉

      Take care!
