WOW!!

Bonjour Mon Ami, sorry it's been a few days since I blogged....I actually wrote one two days ago but have been having trouble getting online since. It's been a huge week; I am staying opposite the beautiful white sandy beach and have barely been on it for actual sun n swimming...just morning walk before head off each day to work. yes WORK. Have even traveling an hr each way every day to meet with researchers and go to every research dept in Mauritius. We have been searching for some evidence of our ancetors lives here in Mauritius...to births, deaths marriages but no luck; property ownership records...nothing....shipping records....nada.....funeral and burial records.....you name it we have searched it....but nothing. VERY INTRIGUING. AND FRUSTRATING. Then today we had a breakthrough which has now led us in a new direction, which will take some time and continue on for a bit of time, so fingers crossed. This new path is pretty huge and gives some indication of how Grandpa James came to be the man he was..... Anyway head off again tomorrow, and see what comes about. Other than that Mauritius traffic is like you wouldn't believe. Cars trucks, buses, motorbikes crowd the roads and highways, And within the madness everyone seems to know where they are going.....they cut in front of each other and common courtesy sees them let each other cut in with a certain ebb and flow that just seems to work. But once there's a traffic jam no one is going anywhere fast. But this being my third trip here, I find I am ripping around like a local now up and down back roads, taking shortcuts, n cutting in just like the best of them. Heading off for dinner tonight...yes finally staying awake long enough. Besides, its CURRY NITE! Bonsoir (LOL) xox
