Welcome Back dear Reader. In my last post, I took a cold shower, went to a museum, and had a delectably delightful lunch with my better half. We have been in Africa for a total of 3 days…this is our last night at the Air BNB and we’ll be heading to Sofitel in the morning. Before we do, there was another restaurant that we were scheduled to visit.
We did see a couple motorbike accidents on the way home but, for the sake of brevity, I’ll skip those particular stories. What I WILL say is everyone was a little shook because there was some nervous laughter and then silence. I just took some random pics to pass the time back to the ABNB.
Most of the cabs in Abidjan are a burnt orange. There ARE a few yellow cabs but the majority look like this. 
I know that I say that each meal was amazing. Truth is truth. After coming back the ABNB for some rest and reflection it was eventually time for dinner. The restaurant chosen for us was Restaurant Le Peon. A fine choice indeed.

The first thing that I noticed was the music…there was a live band playing and the music made me sway and bop on the way to the entrance. Kisha and Guy were already there as they had been out and about finalizing some details for the wedding. As our hostess led us in, I was again impressed by the décor. One thing about all of the places that we have visited so far, there is a definite choice to include natural beauty. I don’t believe that there was one eatery that didn’t stick to this motif. A small, yet appreciated touch for sure.
Inside, the music was poppin’, we were led to our seats and the conversation, drinks and laughs commenced. At some point, there was a birthday celebration at the table next to us and the live band sang Happy Birthday in both French and English…surely in a nod to us. I didn’t get any pics of the band but, hey, I was too focused on eating. Everyone enjoyed their meals and while I tasted all of the appetizers, the star of this meal for me was my fish. You ever have food so good that you don’t care how you look eating? I did eat with some semblance of decorum but, I wanted to tear through my food like the Cookie Monster…Needless to say, another FMF approved meal. Scrumptious. Enjoy. Oh, and there was a peacock…very random but somehow, appropriate.
Next up, Moving Day / Sofitel / Jay’s… and a reunion 30 years in the making.

You have an amazing way of capturing the moment in your observations and making us feel it through your writings. Le Paon most definitely a place to visit when in town: good food and ambiance with the rumba 🎶 music from Congo DRC!!!
