We hope that you are all well and alive! We certainly are! most of the time...
We have two options right now: update every few days with running commentary, or update maybe once a day with pics and short descriptions only... our choice - pics only! easier work for us...
So here it goes!
- This has a story to it; remind one of us to tell it to you one day... but you dont find many of the older men with these hats anymore...so this is a rare sight... It comes from a history of slaves that rebelled against only the rich wearing hats!
- A beautiful church in the town of E 'Tang Salee, on the south coast of the island of Reunion. We arrived on the south coast on Friday afternoon last week and had lunch with some Rotarians from the E 'Tang Salee Club
- En route towards St Pierre we saw some of the damage caused by the last Cyclone (Feb 2007) on Reunion island. This was a huge bridge that was toppled by a river... The new road we were on, a temporary road, just opened a few hours before we got onto it...
- We visited a hospital that care for the handicapped in the town of Le Tampon. They have a wheelchair basketball team that take part in competitions across Reunion and France. We tried our luck in the wheelchairs against some of the team members... hard work we can tell you! great way to build muscle though and the team is interested in coming to SA next year! Rotary E 'Tang Salee also sponsored the team with new competion styled wheelchairs during last year.
Here's some more pics of us in action...
- hot and sweaty!
- And this is how our day ended...true style! a perfect dinner with some amazing Rotarians and of course we had to make a party of it...we are in Reunion! (Josie is a great team leader...)
some more pics soon,
love and light!
Bernie, Tania, Helmien, Alistar and Josie
