Maurtius

 Midway to South Africa had a beach break here. Clyde greeted the greeters (noticed that one of the musicians had a noisemaker that nice sound --- a hollowed out computer filled with pebbles)  then

went off to a local beach (supposedly the most beautiful on the island – a bit gritty for our taste). We had lunch at a little place on the beach. It looked promising with white table cloths, but things were mostly fried seafood and curried seafood (lots of Indian influence on the island.) I don't think we'll be coming back again – at least not on purpose. Did enjoy the innovative approach of some of the vendors.
