The sailors (Rafael, Jorge, Pancho) left the island for good on their boat, while Pauline preferred to take the plane back to Santiago. So it was time to say goodbye.
The rest of the day, I took it easy, and walked a little bit around town looking for souvenirs. In the evening, I joined Romulus and Gabriella to see the sun set in Ahu Tahai. We then continued to a theatre, Kari Kari, where we saw a traditional Rapa Nui dance show — tourism can also keep tradition alive.
I integrated a movie player plugin below — a movie can capture the Rapa Nui dances better than a thousand pictures. The movie has 380 MB, so be sure to consider that before you hit the play button. You might need to see it twice, the first time to load it into the cache, and the second time to enjoy it smoothly and without jerking. Thanks for the neat movie, Gabriella.
