Easter Island - Chile!

The Summer of 2009 was truly Amazing! Robert took me to Chile to Easter Island!
Have you ever heard of it? Brilliant place!

Easter Island is a Polynesian island in the Southeastern Pacific
Ocean. Easter Island is really famous for its 887 extant monumental satues called MOAI.




Here I am with the Moai! It is a World Heritage Site.

The tallest Moai erected, called Paro, was almost 10 metres (33 ft) high and weighed 75 tons! The heaviest erected was a shorter but squatter moai at Ahu Tongariki, weighing 86 tons! Yikes!



Ahh..this is Robert! He was such a blast to hang out with... too bad he got smooshed by the statue.


This is the Life!
Summer 2009! aaaaaaah!
