Ermitage Beach

The day after Christmas, we went to the beach. After Not-Manapany, the boys wanted a "real sand" beach instead of the rocks that make up Grand Anse. So we went to l'Ermitage for the day, and invited any family members who wanted to join us to come along for a picnic.

Some of them took us up on it, and let me tell you - a Reunion Island picnic is not like what you might think of when you think of a picnic. We're talking rice and cari just as if we were at home. And it even stays hot.

Later in the day, a storm came up, and we got drenched. The four of us were tired anyway, so we headed back to Frédéric's aunt's and uncle's house, but some of the others stayed and enjoyed the deserted beach until the rain stopped and the crowds returned.
