Of all the places I've traveled, Bora Bora is one of the most beautiful. I can see why Gauguin chucked rainy Paris and moved here.
The island huts, built over the water, made me feel like I was living right on the ocean. Our hut even had a glass coffee table that opened to the water below and lit it up. We could actually feed the colorful tropical fish that swam beneath us.
I painted Matira Beach several times. We could walk out about a mile on velvet white sand in waist-high turquoise water.
The locals were friendly and gorgeous. The French Polynesians are uninhibited, and to my husband's delight, most of the beaches were of the topless persuasion!
