Gwada, I'm back!

December 11, 2008.
After two months I am de retour in Guadeloupe!
It was such a fantastic feeling - landing at the Raizet airport and recognizing the place that only five months before was an unfamiliar spot on the globe. Then - returning to the house that within three summer months became my home away from home. Saying hi to old friends. Playing a joke on Paul and Marie, who until the moment when they spotted me behind the dresser, had actually been looking for a new rabbit - la copine de Merempah (a girlfriend for the rabbit that can be seen behind us)!...
Guadeloupe did not change much within these two months. Maybe some new billboards. New promotions in the shopping malls. Ah, of course - the beautiful Christmas decorations, especially in the Parc du Calvaire! After Christmas carols à la seychelloise, now seeing another facet of the tropical Christmas spirit yet increased my excitement. Wow, Christmas in Guadeloupe! Awesome. But it's not only about the beautiful landscapes of the French West Indies. In the weeks to come I am to continue exploring the amazing oral traditions of the island...
Yet, for now a few touristy shots - "Gwada in December":
The volcano - La Soufrière (no clouds! unusual):
The Datcha Beach in Gosier:
