The Beach

Salama iaby!

It has been yet another great week here in good 'ol Taolagnaro, Madagascar. We had a lot going on this week, because my companion and I have been trying to fill up our schedule with appointments. An up side of the week is that it rained a lot this week and I didn't have to sweat a lot. I got soaking wet again last week basically head to toe, my ties included.

I have had a lot of moments last week were I had something startling yet funny happen. One of them is this: we were sitting in a members home getting ready to eat dinner with them. I was shuffling a deck of cards at the request of my companion who was performing a magic trick, when a humongous bug flew at top speed into the house and into my hair. I swatted it out of my hair and it was flying everywhere scaring lots of little kids; Eventually, it landed and I killed it. We had quite the laugh about it when it was dead XD

Another one is when I was at the beach this morning at the tail part of fort dauphin (for those who are not familiar with what I am talking about, please refer to google maps). I set down my flip-flops on the beach next to the water and I went to go take some pictures in another place. When I came back and we were heading back to go shopping, I didn't find them. I realized that the waves had carried them away :( I was slightly offended. But there was a couple bathing in the ocean just a few hundred feet away and they had one of the sandals come to them. They gave one to me and just as I was getting that, a fisherman gave my companion the other one, and he related the fact that while he was out fishing waaaaay out from shore, a sandal floated towards him and he was wondering what the heck a sandal was doing out in the ocean until he saw a bunch of white people taking pictures on the beach, so he rowed back to shore to get it back XD

I hope that those were somewhat funny to y'all and I hope that y'all have a great rest of this week!
