Anniversary Dinner and Work at the Yard We're continuing to work each day, although we often don't last until 1700. We broke early on Saturday night to prepare for our 34th anniversary dinner! 34 years...Then we return to some photos at the yard. ![]() This is a photo of our kitchen in the new bungalow. I'm standing in our sleeping area, so they are quite separate. It's all new, it appears, with a small gas range, new fridge, ane hot and cold water at the sink: a first. We can dine inside, out of the sun and close to our kitchen. ![]() The Villa Ixora sign on the tiny around-island road. ![]() Lovely Conni standing in front of the restaurant entrance. The restaurant serves both the 5-room lodge and the community, especially French ex-pats. ![]() Lovely Conni peruses the menu. ![]() It's not difficult to know what our appetizer was: Foie gras. It was excellent.
One of our MaiTai cocktails. They're beautiful and the drink obviously has juices that are unobtainable in the US. Conni's meal of pork belly roasted for 24 hours, and a potato gratin. Pretty tasty fare! My dinner was was the chef's version of salad Nicoise, as mentioned. It's my favorite here. This our decadant dessert of peanut butter ice cream, a coconut cake/tart, and chocolate sauce. Holy smokes! These are the huge engines mentioned in the blog. 4 huge outboards, 350HP each, capable of pushing the boat at 80 knots, about 92mph. Oh, yeah...$50,000 each, so $200,000 in outboard. The boat sank from negligance and our yard has a reputation for fixing things.
Lovely Conni toiling in the sun as we wash the dirty pieces to our boat cover. That's Bora Bora in the background. Here's another view of Bora Bora, arguably the most beautiful island in the world. Not a bad view. |
