On March 23rd we arrived at Mauritius for 2 lovely days. It is an island country of 1,267 sq. mi and 1.2 million people, 550 miles east of Madagascar. The guide book says it is 11 times the size of Washington D.C. It is a melting pot of Indians, Africans, Chinese and others, with French and English influence from colonial times. Besides being an "island gem in the middle of the Indian Ocean" it has a stable democracy and one of Africa's highest per capita incomes. (not saying much, I know, but seemed to have good quality of life from my perspective.) Danny led a snorkeling field trip, and I went hiking with friends...As for quality of life, the pictures speak for themselves. I'm not ready to come home yet, but am really missing everybody. Maybe you could meet us in Capetown! Many thanks for all the comments that keep us anchored to home!

ReplyDeleteWow, what adventures you are having! I can't imagine how you will come "down to earth"! I love all the photos and commentary from each of your destinations. Our only excitement is rocking and rolling in the 7.2 earthquake we felt in downtown SD yesterday.
