Armistice Day

Sunset at La Datcha beach
My delisious meal after some tough Paddleboarding. Paddle boarding this week was in Port Louis, a little town with a beautiful beach were we could be on the waves, actually surfing the waves. It was my first time, kind of difficult to get used to at first, but after awhile it was easier and loads of fun. Although I would say I only feel like I actually caught one wave (I still ended up falling), it was a really cool feeling. Anyways, back to the food, that is a Lambi shell (Lambi shell is a conch shell), a crab, and another type of shell I don't remember, all stuffed with their corresponding meets, it was amazing.

BĂ´kaz festival last night in Moule. It was a creole jazz festival they set up next to the boulevard, really a good time.

Unfortunately I have no pictures, but yesterday I went canyoning. It was probably the most physically demanding, coolest, like nothing I've ever done before, things that I've done here so far.  I went with 3 other assistants who go to a hiking club on Sundays with some of there teachers.  We hiked up through a river/waterfall(s), the entire time I was at least up to my ankles in water. The first section was up the river, over rocks and boulders, then we got to the canyons were we began going up waterfalls and swimming through deep sections of water. It was incredible and unbelievably beautiful.  It would have been so amazing to have a camera but due to the water factor it was impossible, hence the fact  my lunch turned from tuna salad on a baguette to waterlogged tuna sandwich soup. I wouldn't want that happening to my phone, it did keep me hydrated though. All in all the hike was about 5 or 6 hours and truly unforgettable.
