Noumea, New Caledonia
This small group of islands in Micronesia were discovered by the French. It helped me realize how bad my French still is. I had a few short conversations with people, but between my deaf ear on the right side and my lack of memory, the conversations were very brief.
The water here is beautiful blue. Approaching the island, there were some cool coral reefs that caused the water to do some weird beach waves in the middle of the ocean. It was pretty awesome to watch the water break and roll in over the water. The pictures don't do it justice.
The port was a protected cove with lots of hills. We walked uphill through the Plaza de Pais.
From the viewpoint, we got a great view of the harbor and the area behind us.
They also had a statue of a woman praising God at the viewpoint.
Jack had to do a Touchdown Jesus pose with the Hail Mary.
We also visited the Catholic Church, or as Jack called it, the Church of Barry Manilow. The priest's picture did look amazingly like him.
And since it was St. Patrick's day yesterday, this seemed fitting
