So far...

My children have learned that jetlag is a fickle beastie...


Bougainvillea is abundant and colorful...



Only the natives are capable of scaling the coconut tree...


The Indian Ocean is unlike their known Atlantic is so, so many ways...


But also, similar.


Mommy's feet, however, are happiest covered in Indian Ocean sand.


A large crocodile carved out of ebony will not fit in our return luggage...


But, so it was argued, multiple pairs of earrings would.


And, somewhere inside of them, the African drum beats true.
