I have officially been in Seychelles for one whole year,
which is longer than the last 3 leases I signed on various apartments back in
Texas. To celebrate this fact, I did my favorite thing a few weekends ago. I
hopped on a bus down south (50 cents) and exited when I saw a beach I liked,
found some cheap delicious takeaway ($5), ice cream ($1) and more beautiful
beaches (free) and then wandered my way back to base taking photos along the
way. It was very low tide, so I was able to walk along some beaches not
normally exposed and enjoy the cool sand beneath my feet instead of dodging
buses and crazy drivers along the narrow, winding roads. Along the way, I found a boat with
inappropriate phrases, watched a dog leap around in the shallows chasing fish,
went inside a beautiful church and walked at least 5 miles. I came back and sat on the "rock of doom" and enjoyed a beautiful sunset overlooking my home and office, Baie Ternay Marine Park while saying thank
you for all of the incredible opportunities I’ve had here and for all of the
amazing people I have met. And in case you didn’t know – I have committed to staying here for at least one
more full year. J I can’t wait to see what this next year will bring.
