Just imagine...
These are houses just like those in wich they were sleeping and living
So, about 7 firends and myself went there, and we had the chance to spend the night, sleeping in hammacs
Woke up early
Listened or watched birds
Took a shower between the trees...
It's called "La savane des esclaves" in Martinique
A place where kids learn how to plant cassava, or yam... where they learn also how their grand-parents used to live.
A nice place !

these are lovely and just stunning ..love them all but especially 2 and the last one ...:)!!! ????? · 2007-06-17: 00:05

PS . superbe la photo d'identité de jendayee maintenant! nadoune · 2007-06-17: 10:34

C'est justement à la période de Noel que nous y étions, (certains ont encore leur sweat shirt, cette période est fraiche) et tu vois bien que pour leur émission ils y étaient arrivés très tôt espérant nous surprendre en train de ronfler dans nos hammacs. Mais presque tous, n'avions guère dormi... la fumée qui s'échappe est celle de feu de bois sur lequel le café fut préparé. Absolument génial comme endroit ! jendayee · 2007-06-17: 10:58
