... speaking areas in particular, the situation in Reunion and Mauritius, the fall festival in France &#8211; where the Prodigues plan to attend this year &#8211; the visit of the Prime Minister, the social and economic situation in Reunion and the world, and many other topics as well. It was 3:00 pm by the time we finished and my eyelids had grown heavy after two short nights and a glass of wine, so I excused myself, and went back to the apartment for a siesta.<br><br>I was back ...

This morning I walked down the hill at 08:00. We had a light breakfast, and continued our ongoing discussions for another hour or so. Laval then drove me into Saint Denis to show me the capital city. We parked by the ocean and walked up what clearly used to be the main street in the city. All the old colonial-period government buildings are on it, as are some rich plantation-type mansions and manors. We walked all the way up ...

... dans le coeur. Tu as choisi la pureté, Et tu caches bien ta beauté, Au fond des cirques où bat ton coeur. Mon île, Tu n'es pas l'île enchanteresse, Qu'on fait miroiter dans la presse, Aux riches des riches pays. Pour te protéger des ravages, Tu as donné à tes villages, Le nom des Saints du Paradis. Mais du haut de tes montagnes, Quand la colère te gagne, Tu ...

... agent stopped me and asked to see my passport. "American" he said in a noncommittal tone. He flipped through the pages of visas and stamps, and asked what my job was, and what I was doing on Reunion. When I answered, he let me pass without no expression on his face or in his voice. Laval Prodigue, Jocelyn's brother was waiting for me in the arrival area. We shook hands and I said I was sorry I was so late. It wasn't a problem, he told me. From their home ...

... plongée, on occupe bien facilement le temps. Grand merci à l'Excelsus (Céline, Séb, Nico, Romain et David) Je garde le meilleur pour la fin. On remercie chaleureusement tout le club Excelsus à St-Leu de nous avoir initiés à la plongée et la photo sous-marine (sans vos conseils éclairés, je n'aurai jamais atteint la, heu, ... 35ème place au trophée de photo H2O). Franchement ...

... check. Nice quiet night, good to be back in civilization. Fri 30th June Karthala Reunion (St Denis) Fairly late start, usual breakfast, but good quality, talk to manager about Chiki, one in 3 have had it, not him, and the town is heavily sprayed. Some have mild symptoms, some die. Stick our heads out into the street for a look, find it interesting, so go on another great internet hunt, walking the main shopping mall, Rue Marechal Leclerc in the ...

... Better to arrive early in the morning (with very warm clothes), in order to see the panorama. Otherwise, you might be caught by the fog. The view of the craters in the sunshine is really beautiful from the 'Pas de Bellecombe'. Those who like trekking may climb the main crater in 5 or 6 hours, and even less for good hikers. Those who don't want to walk a lot may go down the 'Pas de Bellecombe' and climb the little crater, which is only a few meters high ...
