Et 4 jours pour faire le reste de l ile maurice, ancienne ile de france. 4 jours c est peu mais la promotion aerienne que j ai eu m inpose ces dates. En effet, le trajet reunion - ile maurice est un vol qui est dit un des plus chers du monde, 20 minutes de vol sont facturees entre 250 et 500 euros.

... there really was nowhere else in the world that would be a better place to be than where we were, we are so lucky to be able to do stuff like this. The rest of the day and night were more of the same, it was a ton of fun but very relaxing at the same time. It would have been so nice to have four or five days there but I guess it is time to move on. <br><br>We had our Global Studies midterm right before Mauritius, it was okay but not great. Everyone thought ...

... became family and they helped me out sooo much, it's almost embarrassing.. I wish I could help them out some day. They're gorgeous, maybe I could teach Jack some German some day ;)<br><br><br> <br>The day I left to the airport was highly emotional, I sorta expected it but I didn't expect to see Anthony with wet eyes. The guy that doesn't get touched by anything ...

... to leave the house that they lived in for over 100 years and start over in Pakistan. Against the wishes of Gandhi, the British said that the Muslims and Hindus could not live peacefully in the same country so they had to create two different ones. All the Muslims were forced into Pakistan and the Hindus in India. Unfortunately during this time there were mass genocides of people traveling by train and bus ...

... of the afternoon studying for my midterm tomorrow and watching American Gangster, a movie with Denzel Washington in it that I brought from home. I had a late dinner at the snack bar with Katie and then spent a few hours hanging out on deck seven with her and our "mom." Our mom, Laurie Beth, was on duty for pub night so we had a few drinks and chatted with her. Later on in the night, they cut off all ...

... 3rd :( I did not get to do all of my events because well... I was sick, haha. However, I was in synchronized swimming, hahaha. It was a joke. Our group was the worst but oh well, over now! At least there was one positive part about not feeling well all day... I got to spend the day in my room studying and catching up on class work! Yes, I know, I sound way too excited for homework but I was excited to have some time off of class and from being in port to just work on it. I ...

... it as your favorite holiday destination (yet). We are still a couple of hours ahead, so we go to bed early and Hubby gets up at ... 6!!! I stay in bed till 8 and am happy to see the wireless is working. I have no idea whether it is connected to the angry mail I sent. The signal in the apartment is weak anyway.  The weather is much better, a lot of sun, but still dark clouds. We arrive at the diving shop in time and: we go diving. Only one dive, though. But that ...

... we had to move in under the parasol when in sprinkled tropical rain for a few minutes. After lunch, we went back to the embassy, filled out request forms and dropped off our passports. Because of security concerns we didn't talk directly to the American staffer who assisted us. We looked at each other through a thick glass barrier as we spoke on a telephone system. It saddened me that the world has become such a violent place that such measures are now deemed necessary. We decided ...

... exchange money. So one of the ladies in the organization led us all to an exchange bureau where we all got some Rupees so we could buy things in the store. The exchange rate is about 1USD to 30 Rupees. Everything was really cheap throughout the entire island basically. Then we went to a rehabilitation center for women addicted to drugs after they are released from Prison. This is where the trip started to go downhill. This part of the trip was not organized at all, the women ...

... fields" (since we had Eric's mom with us, we picked what seemed like the most accessable falls). That 15 minute stroll led only to a view point, far away from the falls themselves. After seeing the path to actually get down to the falls, Eric's mom took a cab home, and the four of us set out to hike into the ravine. The falls are actually a series of seven waterfalls, one ...
