Today is Epiphany, a Christian hoilday celebrated on the island. It is also the day of a huge kayak race around the island. Ninas grandmother said that when she was young, she used to count down the days to Epiphany, the way many children count down the days to their birthdays.We arrived at Ninas for lunch, after lunch Ninas mother brought out a cake, called La galette des Rois, the traditional cake eaten on Epiphany. Ninas mother said had hidden a bean inside the cake and whoever found the bean inside their peice would becomes the king or queen of the day and get to pick his or her king or queen. The cake was cut so that there was non left over. Kruz found the bean and picked Ninas Grandmother to be his Queen.
