We decided not to attempt the trip to the island of Saint Marie. Among other reasons, it was rainy. We will spend the next couple days in Tamatave and then a couple in the capital to wrap-up our time here. Today bought baguettes in the market for lunch and found a hole-in-the-wall ice cream shop with delicious homemade ice cream. Easily decided to make it a daily stop. Then wandered through a librarie (bookstore) and found a little French phrasebook. Actually, it was an British English phrasebook for French speakers. Funny but helpful. Walked along the waterfront where friends and family sat and drank THB (Three Horses Beer) or juice and smoked endless Boston brand cigarettes. The price of a pack or a large beer both under a dollar. The 50th anniversary of Madagascar independence from France is Saturday and the city is preparing for a celebration. Found a cute chocolate shop. Put our laundry in to be done. Watched some Coupe de Monde. Looking forward to our next couple days sans traveling.

ReplyDeleteLove this bland little post for a change. More adventures to come - enjoy the break.
ReplyDeleteHey you both!! We got your post card at the PC office this week, all the way from Zim. It was great to see your handwriting, and it got everyone talking about your travels. I got to recap the crazy canoe adventures and there was a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing. We all miss you!
ReplyDeleteGlad you made the decision not to go out on the water in bad weather!! Fun to see how God directs our paths and gives us unexpected gifts in doing so. I am just a tidbit jealous of all your travels, but not when I climb in my bed each nite! Love you!
