Mauritius

For those of you that don't know, because I definitely had no idea before I looked it up on a map, Mauritius is a teeny tiny island right by Madagascar on the eastern side of Africa. It is a little paradise there. It's french speaking, but unfortunately since we were only there for a day, I didn't have any time to practice my high-school french on the locals. A huge group of my friends (there were 30 of us total) rented a catamaran for the afternoon and just sailed around the island. There was plenty to drink on the boat, so of course it was a good time. We got to go snorkeling (though we didn't see much) and swam to a beach when we were anchored.
I got a few bruises yesterday that rival some of Mary's worst ones. Though now they're really painful. It was my friend Emma's birthday, and since both of her parents are teachers on the ship, they ordered tacos to their room for all of her friends. (Tacos are a rare treat on the ship, because we're used to only getting pasta, potatoes, and rolls.) Since tacos were at 7:30 and I got back to the ship by 6, I decided I'd take a little nap beforehand. Too bad all of my roommates also took a nap and we all slept through our alarms and the multiple phone calls we got to wake us up. But after missing tacos, we had some roommate bonding time, which was precious.
India is in 6 days!!! So excited :)
