Tuesday night, the tides were right, and we planned a party at Le Petite N'Gor, a restaurant on the beach. Babies, small children wading in the water, young teens and older teens visiting home, adults, from all over the world, joined us for a relaxed evening. It was like inviting yourself and your friends to someone else's house -- they fixed the drinks and food, set up tables on the beach and then cleaned up the mess. We even asked them to build a bonfire, which they lit after the sunset.
The only request of our guests was to bring marshmallows, sweet gooshy American treats, which the French do make and sell (but they don't toast).
So, we drank, watched the sunset, ate dinner in the restaurant, roasted marshmallows, and finally lit a few fireworks. Oh, yes, Oscar the pelican was behind us, so we had to be wary of his sharp beak (he's pictured. He eventually slept but was unhappily aroused by the fireworks. Happy New Year to all!
