Sun-filled Saturday

We have had a more relaxed day today, as I'm sure the kids have, not needing to be at school by 7.15am. Bill and I went to the markets this morning which is a favourite past-time whenever I am here. They are held by the sea at Port Moselle and on a beautiful sunny day like today, it was a treat. There is always a busy atmosphere as Saturday attracts many more people than during the week. Live music plays and the stalls are all so bright and colourful, selling everything from clothing, jewellery, and local artefacts to a wide range of strange veges and fruit and an even bigger range of fresh fish.
This is the first year that I haven't bumped into any of our kids as it is always a point of call for the host families. I'm sure most would have been there at some stage this morning.

                                                     A smorgasbord of seafood delights!

Last night Madame Lisnic and Monsieur Pare, the Principal and Deputy Principal from Jean Mariotti, took Bill and I out to a Tahitian dinner and concert. It was great as the food was nearly all seafood. Bill was in his element!
He wasn't invited up to dance so all was good!

I've had no phone calls so all must be well with the families.  Veronique was going to ring a couple of her girls this afternoon to say they had to leave their tablets alone and not spend so much time on them!  We both want the kids talking and doing things together.
So for now, au revoir from the Tropics!
