Enthusiastic Welcome

After being served coffee on the terrace by my hostess, I descended into the village for a first exploratory walk, filled with curiosity. On the beach, I was greeted warmly by young people who were just as curious as I was. With their western T-shirts and perfect hairstyles, they in no way fulfilled any idea I had had until then of locals in a traditional fishing village on the other side of the world. This thought, however, dissolved quickly as these young people welcomed me with unexpected charm and posed with obvious enthusiasm in front of my camera.
