Africa » Madagascar By Joey EakinsApril 24th 2007
Joey Eakins Okay all, I know I have gotten behind on my journals and email but I really am not up to writing right now. I am still really enjoying my time here but not feeling like putting it on paper. I know i will regret it back in the states but hey that's okay. I have almost completed my first year of volunteering. I am getting ready to wrap up this last semester at the CEG and Lycee. I will have a summer job teaching guides English at a national park here in Madagascar. I can't publish the name but if you are curious, you can email me. It is a very beautiful park and I am really excited to do something different. I will also try to work on ecotourism because it is kind of a new park. I hope to work with locals and get them to sell their crafts and such to tourists who are willing to buy things related to their journey. Wish me luck. Here are some new photos of my past vacation to Andasibe with friends. Some are also of my town
My Town Again
Here is another view of my town. I actually biked to that large hill in the distance. It is about 65 kilometers away.

Title says enough
Horse Riding in Antsirabe
I went on a four hour horse ride through the countryside of Antsirabe with Kate and Wendy.
Mini golf in Antsirabe
Really didn't think I would be doing this in Madagascar. I won by the way. I guess Pirate's Cove paid off. This is Kate in the picture
My director of my C.E.G.
Title says enough. I am blessed having this director. He is very outgoing

Joey: Your pics as always are absolutely breathtaking. I hope you are still enjoying your opportunities. Doesn't sound like you are wasting too much time. One year down, one to go! Not sure if you'll decide to stay in the States for any time after that, but I will be curious to find out.

Great Photos
Mom and I enjoyed seeing your photos. The bike ride to the mountain must of taken awhile. Bet the ride down the hill was more enjoyable than going up it. We miss you. MOM and DAD
