Hello everyone,
Life is still going great here in Madagascar. I just got back from Vacation. I went to Tulear on the Southwest Coast of Madagascar. It was a great vacation with many unexpected twists and turns.

Nosy VeThis island was really small, and was like a dessert in the middle. It had strange vegetation and birds on it. No inhabitants live on it and actually it is taboo to disturb it.
A man in the water in TulearI don't know what he was doing but he walked along the coast in the water for some distance.
