The insane overwater villas at the St. Regis in Bora Bora. I went to French Polynesia to do a story for Intermezzo magazine...the issue should be out in a few months!
Gorgeous tomato salad with Russian dressing and fried onion rings at the Lagoon Restaurant (a Jean-George resto!) at the St. Regis.
This guy really knows how to crack open a coconut. Afterward, he shredded the meat, wrapped it in cheese cloth and squeezed out the coconut milk.
A "roulette," or snack shack, which are all over Tahiti. This one serves typical French baguette sandwiches.
I have never seen a pineapple plant before - the leaves are razor sharp and very dangerous!!
Some unlucky but delicious piggies at the Botanical Restaurant in Tahiti. We feasted on these and other local cuisine that all cooked in an underground oven.
It takes some strong men to remove all of the oven's contents - there were three layers of food in there.
Beautiful swordfish at the Le Mahogany Restaurant in Tahiti, one of many French bistros on the island.
Because of the French influence, you can get fantastic croissants and baguettes in Tahiti.
The tarte tatin at Le Mahogany Restaurant, quite honestly the BEST I have ever had.

Bora Bora is only a dream for many people. wowsers. highly impressive! and look at them pigs!
It seems you had some good time there !...
I've had the fortunate pleasure of visiting Tahiti twice now, in 2000 and in 2007. It's a beautiful place and the people are lovely. If you go again, make sure you have dinner at Bloody Mary's on Bora Bora!
Oh we went to Bloody Mary's and absolutely hated it! It was like a Hard Rock Cafe (as in cheesy, theme restaurant) and the food was terrible. The service was the only thing worse than our entrees...
