Christmas Day in Cayenne

Merry Christmas everyone! Jack and I had a very quiet day trying to stay out of the heat and humidity. However, the sun and good weather finally drew us outside in the afternoon and off we went to the beach. Would you like to come with us on our little walk? Once we leave our apartment complex, we go down the street to the roundabout and then turn right. (Click on photos to enlarge)

Next, we'll go straight along this road for about five minutes...

...and we'll turn left down the first dirt road.

After another right then another left, we arrive at this street. If you look carefully, you can see the ocean at the end of the street.

In just another two minutes, here we are at the beach! Along the way, one of the houses seems to emerge from the luxurious vegetation.

This will be the first time we ever go swimming in the ocean on Christmas Day. The water was actually quite nice and warm, and we had fun splashing around.

We wrote you a little message in the sand just before a wave came to wipe it away. Can you make out what it says?

As we left to return home, we admired the sunset through the palm trees.

In just three days, we'll be leaving for the Salvation Islands about one hour by ferry off the coast of French Guiana. I promise lots of photos. Until then, merry Christmas once again!
