April 7, Madagascar Day 70
The past week-and-a-half has been a whirlwind of events. To sum it up:
Hot beach -> Cold mountains -> Lost passport (not really, just thought so) -> Tour of new American Embassy (met the Ambassador!) -> 11 hour bus ride -> Hot beach.
To elaborate? Nosy Be (pronounced: Noosy Bay) was gorgeous. I snorkeled with sea turtles, giant clams, coral, eels, and barracuda...you know, just a regular day in Madagascar. I returned to Tana, and in preparation for the Embassy tour, I saw that my passport was not on my person. Freaked out, I go home and find it on my desk. Whew! On the 3rd (iPad debut!), $12.50 bought me an 11hr bus ride back to Majunga (Mahajanga...same place) where I'm currently working on my independent study project. Currently, I've already made plans to meet with the head of the Diocese in the city, and I've been given an exclusive press pass to film the events of a special event happening in front of the Cathedral on Sunday.
