Our fearless leader, Jeffrey Birch, just
got back from the Paris Dive Show or Salon de la Plongée . Despite some small
reluctance Jeff had about traveling so far, he unsurprisingly had a spectacular
time! Jeff took lots of pictures (successfully making everyone else very
jealous) of the city, the dive show and especially the FOOD!
Small Hope Bay Lodge has been attending the
Paris Dive Show for many years now and Jeff was able to reunite with some good
friends. The
show itself proved to be extremely well organized and fun for all! One couple,
Audrey and Cedric, were lucky enough to have their wedding sponsored by the
Bahamas Ministry of tourism as well as the Dive Show. The ceremony was performed
in the pool at the Dive Show! The lucky couple is now off to the Bahamas for
their honeymoon and will even make it to Small Hope Bay Lodge to renew their
vows.

As anyone who has been to Paris will
testify, food there is something taken very seriously. In the dive show itself
there were all kinds of foods stalls filled with unbelievable snacks. After the
show each day, Jeff went out with Karin Mallet, the Bahamas.com representative
in France. She took him to many restaurants but Jeff’s absolute favorite was
the food market. Rows and rows of the freshest and ripest fruits and
vegetables, mountains of too many cheeses to even try to name, freshly cut
meats, so many types of olives to make your head spin and freshly baked
pastries around every corner.
