Our heroes were up at daybreak and headed straight for the Taxi-Brousse station. "We're celebrities- get us out of here!" Take us to Tana and to the fanciest joint in Madagascar - the Colbert Hotel! [or so the website had promised] But what an anti-climax. The room was horribly bland and our filthy heroes had to ask for shampoo! The hot water wasn't consistent and none of the facilities were included! [Gym, Swimming pool] At least there was air conditioning and they could drown their sorrows ...

Yesterday Matt and I had another day in Tana before heading out on our exploration of provincial Madagascar. We got up and took a taxi be (pronounced 'bay' - now I have the right spelling!) downtown which seemed like a much shorter ride than the one getting home the night before in the dark! We decided to try having breakfast downtown at a patisserie and so by the time we got down to Avenue de l'Independence we were famished. We settled on Blanche Neige (Snow White) which has the most amazing...

(Note: this is a long entry... I think because I am now alone at night my thoughts will come out more as I have more time to write.) It's hot! Not quite as hot as South Africa, but a stickier heat for sure. I'm in Madagascar!!! I keep thinking about how crazy that is and how I don't think I know anyone who has been here. I feel lucky to have this amazing opportunity to travel. Just as I begin to remind myself of how lucky I am, I run smack back into the African mentality that everything will ...

This morning meet: Marina Monster. My first swollen face in over 2 weeks. Although, I do feel miserable, I cannot help laughing: I look like a lip Botox went wrong. Yes, probably an allergic reaction to my yesterdays' treatment, but certainly NOT the fault of the nice beautician at the hotel Colbert. We pack, send some more mails (internet is promised in Nosy Be, but we know about those promises) and Andry is picking us up. The flight is on time and includes nuts and a coke! A girl is waiting...

I did. Nosy Be is Madagascar's premier beach-destination. It is the biggest island of the country, right in the north and has a population of 40.000. Madirokely is a beach village with the highest amount of dive shops listed in our guide book. Madiro hotel promised us internet. http://www.madirohotel.com/ Dr T gets a phone and some software. It turns out to be an asynchrony dial up modem. Hubby reads the entire 27 pages manual. We need a dial up number and a password. Which nobody can give us...

We arrived in Antananarivo, Madagascar on June 08 th, 2005 from Bangkok, Thailand . The main focus for this trip in Madagascar was on ruby and sapphire, but we had also an interest in other gemstones such as spinel, tsavorite, and alexandrite. We traveled extensively in Madagascar first to the south, visiting mines near Ansirabe and Ilakaka driving to the extreme south of the Island to Andranondambo ...

... eventually gave up. Instead we traipsed up the long steps to Place de l'Independence past lots of sellers of rubber stamps. Had lunch in a cafe at Place de l'Independence, which was quite nice, though we thought they were never going to serve us. Tried to visit the Museum of Art & Archaelogy, but it was closed, with no ...

... which means the children clean the school for three days and then have a big party. And I just have to show up to make sure they don't misbehave too much. It was a good weekend to leave, though, since I didn't have to plan lessons and had extra time to grade tests. Once I got past the smog ride from the Tana airport to the Peace Corps house (Tana is dirty!) it was fun to see other volunteers. There were a lot of people in town for ...

... I had prepared for them about our understanding of the annual festivals observed by Jesus and the early New Testament Church and which we observe also, following their examples. I also gave them the electronic files to be able to print a copy of our Fundamental Beliefs booklet, so that they could study it later in the day. After four hours of discussions we decided to meet again the next morning. That would give them time to read what I had prepared for ...

... us the diffculties faced by the family. Eight children, and he makes just 1500 Ariary per day. that's so little, it's amazing that they are able to send any of them to school. He said he needed to; that he wanted the eldest to work in Tana when he was older and send money home. Chucking it down tonight - the sound is not helped by the tin roof - but it is drowing out the sound of the mice at least. It might be gross, but it's also fairly ...
