Vacation of a lifetime Part 3


Church in Moorea, French Polynesia

As I toured the South Pacific Islands, I was impressed by not only the exquisite waterfalls in Hawaii, Samoa and Milford Sound, and by the exotic flowers seen at every turn, I was also fascinated by the churches. Besides the natives, the population of the South Pacific Islands includes Asian, Indians and Caucasian. With the immigration of these groups, came religions of all types. The islands are now dispersed with some of the most exquisite, quaint places of worship imaginable. One guide mentioned that the strongest, safest buildings on the islands are the churches. Take a look:
