I left my countryside family home in Provence (with pool!) for a simpler life, with my wife, on a small volcanic island in the indian ocean. It was a real pickle, but I made the right choice. The mornings are typically spent swimming at a nearby beach. There's rarely anybody there, our only company is sea turtles coming to chomp on the seagrass or laying eggs in the sand.
