Auntie’s House and Errands

You forgot your camera???

Visits in Victoria
This evening at 6:00 pm I took a taxi into town to The Pirate Arms. I was a few minutes early and waited off the side for the people to come. While I waited, a drunk tried to walk in the restaurant, and the big security guard at the door had to ...
Arriving in Paradise!

Bon jour, Seychelles

Go See More of Mahe
