And if the colors helped give you a little lift, then I'm smiling too; it was so bright there ! Thanks for the tip about bitter melon, I'm going to have to look that up.

I think it must be your soul that makes the photos come out looking so beautiful. You love snapping photos and it just shows in the end result. And I can tell you're still floating in memories of your days in La Reunion. It's always worth the trip when we have the memories to keep us company later...

Pity I can reach out and grab some of that rum to try. They have so many bag options, but it is true that you need one or two or five when visiting a beach. I'm most intrigued by the pots and pans though. They look stocky, but I'm sure they're lightweight if they're meant for picnics.<br /><br />I think wacky vegetable is a variety of bitter melon. It's used a lot in Chinese cooking, and I think some folks make tea with it. I picked some up at a local market once with good intentions, but in the end, I just ended up photographing it. ;)<br /><br />Thanks for the bright colors.
