So all afternoon it would rain, and then it would look like it wasn’t going to rain anymore. Which was of course a lie because inevitably it rained again.

Which left us with the quandary.  One of the main purposes of coming here is of course to see the crazy rock statues constructed by the Rapa Nui (the easter island natives).  And of course a most spectacular way to see the Moai would be over a sunset.

I would say indecision got us more soaked than not.

Here we are in-between a rain drenching.  (Note ominous rainclouds in the distance)

(Note also Nicholas’ expression of pure joy)

Well eventually we waited long enough that we did get to see it.

Nicholas even perked up a little.

Because it kept raining, we were really lucky to be almost the only people there.

By almost, I mean we were pretty much the only people at Tahai.

Yeah I’d say we got pretty good front row seats.
