Port Louis, Champ de Mars race track

I had to include this shot because it shows that despite the island being so incredibly isolated it is still part of a very international scene. This was an international jockey event which featured racers and horses from France, Switzerland, India, South Africa, England and Maruitius. Thousands attend the event. - copyright Brown W.

Day 2 on Mauritius

It seems that most people on Mauritius enjoy the water experience. On Ile aux Cerfs, a small neighboring island, many local Mauritian families come to picnic and swim. I should mention that on this island a local man told us he had never seen an American before and asked if we lived near Madonna. Apparently the man had a crush. Later in the day we visited the horse races in Port Louis at Champ de Mars race track. This was a very unexpected treat. - copyright Brown W. Cannon III / INTERSECTION PHOTOS

Arrival into Mauritius

Dubai to Mauritus was a 6.5hr flight due south. We hit the ground running and found ourselves immersed well into the night. This first day would end with hypnotic Mauritian sounds and dance. - copyright Brown W. Cannon III / INTERSECTION PHOTOS

December 3rd

I flew the behemoth A-380 from NYC to Dubai. This Emirates plane was incredible. It had a double decker configuration with a wingspan of 261.8 feet. Think about that the next time you go to a football game. The downstairs compartment had 89 rows many of which are 10 seats across and can seat a max of 850.

En Route to Mauritius

I opted to break up my 40 hour travel schedule to Mauritius and stay for a night in NYC. December 2nd was a perfect crisp, clear, blustery, 35 degree Fall day in the city. And it turned into my first time visiting the Statue of Liberty. - copyright Brown W. Cannon III / INTERSECTION PHOTOS
