My mom visited all the way from Florida some weeks ago and a wonderful time was had by all. We made another visit to
Phare Amédée, visited the
Parc Forestier and enjoyed a guided visit of the
Centre Tjibaou. Pablo joined us on all these outings (as captured above) at the ripe old age of 6-8 weeks old. Born here, I guess he doesn't really count as a tourist, but we do stand out in New Caledonia. Maybe it is our pale skin, our reddish hair, our metropolitan clothes. Maybe it is the money we bring to the island, our English-speaking ways, our love of this place. But no matter, we love it here, minorities or no.
