Our 2nd Day on Easter Island

It's still sunny and hasn't started raining yet (that's why we are smiling). This is the quarry where all the heads were carved before being taken to their respective places along the coast. We rented our 4x4 to ensure we could see everything in two days and to conserve our $$ as Easter Island is quite expensive. We stayed at a nice bed and breakfast that had hot water most of the time with a lovely hot breakfast each morning to start our day. Quite honestly, two days is enough on Easter Island. The running joke was there wasn't any concern of Dad wanting to move to Easter Island to live. Jeff was quite happy about this revelation. We were all glad we went but we know we are never coming back either. We visited a museum, travelled around about 80% of the island, and drove through about 25 small lakes.....one we didn't as I was even too leary about going through. I think I was just too afraid of Elaine's wrath if we got stuck in the mud/water/rainstorm since we were only about half an hour away from a hot shower and comfy beds. These pics were taken on Aug 20th.
