Madagascar?

---

Bonjour!
today is the secong day i have been in fort dauphin. previously i was in manatantely for a few relaxing days of orientation to madagascar learning the local language, malagasy and trying out my very poor french with a few unlucky malagasy. The keyboard that I am using is a french keyboard so you will have to excusse whatever typos occur please
a few words to describe madagascar:
green, topographic map material, indian ocean out my window
I will be meeting my host family tonight, we have been staying at an old american boarding school (lutheran missionaries) turned hotel which smells like mold i am hoping it is not the bad kind, mais je suis trés heuruse pour ma famile malagasy.
Traveling to get here was not great, it just furthered my dislike of airplanes but i must say that air france serves a mean chocolate suffle and une petite bouite du vin.
aubientot!
