Miss Tahiti 2000
The boys found themselves in Papeete, Tahiti, just in time for the Miss Tahiti contest - we bought the best tickets they had and brought the digital camera. I took over 120 shots, but these were the keepers!
Sorry this is a huge page with lots of photos, but I don't have a lot of time to edit...
