But as things turned out, Frédéric needed to help his uncle pick up some appliances. Once he got back from that, we were sitting in the yard enjoying the weather, when a car we didn't know drove up.
It was Frédéric's other uncle, his girlfriend, and her brother. We knew his uncle had some things to drop off for us, so we thought they were stopping by for a coffee.
Fun fact about Reunion Islanders: they don't just stop in for a coffee. They had brought all the fixings for dinner, and the brother brought his guitar. So a "stop-in" turned into dinner, and a songfest, which didn't conclude, from best I can tell, until around 3:15 am. We snuck off to bed around 1:30, since we had to get up at 5 am to fly out.
The flight was long but uneventful, but it is a heck of a lot colder here at home than it was in Reunion!
