MAURITIUS JULY 2007 #4

The bird is WOODY, my Uncle's pet parrot who lives in the dining room. She is crazy as all hell, having created a nest in a droor that she guards viciously. Fingers beware.

This is STEVE. He likes Chelsea soccer club and Rambo movies. He can be reached at:

Trou D'eau Douce; 7-Chemins; Mouncan; Payatanbee.

...if you want to send him anything.

The guy in the background is Jimmy, our boat driver at the beach-house. What's weird is that all the boat drivers here seem to be rastas; must be the calming influence of the water; and all the opportunities for action with the female tourists.

We went fishing...

In front of virtually every house in Mauritius is a shrine - Christian, Hindu or Muslim. I have attached this because it is black Jesus! Look closely.
