Delicious Mauritius

This phrase comes from Steve Cushman's haiku on this beautiful island off the east coast of Madagascar. And it was, both visually and culinarily. A mixture of many cultures --although predominantly from the Indian subcontinent-- it's famous for its pristine beaches and expensive resorts. A water taxi takes you over to the modern harbor (Mauritius is one of the richest countries in Africa)We only spent two days and one night here (but it's on the "come back to this place!" list), so we just hung out most of the time, catching up on work and rest. In the evening our group from Charlottesville went out to the famous Oberoi Hotel to celebrate Fernando's birthday.Expensive. Nice. Expensive. Elegant. Expensive. Fun. Did I say expensive?
We resume classes tomorrow, as we set sail for India.
