It’s been a while since this thread was updated. First, we lost Linda, who moved back home to be with her friends and family. Since then, I’ve been too busy to keep up with it myself and haven’t been able to find a replacement. I’m sure we’ve missed one or two updates along the way, but today, I noticed a new addition and decided it was time to update the thread. Let’s all give a warm to Mauritius! --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Mauritius is an island country in the Indian Ocean, located off the southeast coast of Africa: Mauritius is about 1,130 kilometers east of Madagascar and is part of the Mascarene Islands.
