That's right folks, it's almost June 11th ,and you know what that means... WORLD CUP 2010!!! Can't wait. You see, my town has electricity each day from about 6 pm to 10 pm (game time), and they wheel out a tv each night that you can sit on the ground or on the wall and watch, so I won't have to miss a minute! It's the little things. I've had some chaos as of late, my house was broken into and my money stolen, then the owner of the house gave me a 7 pm curfew (so the town is building me a new house, long story), but the moral is: kala suru. Have patience. This will all be funny someday. It's actually funny already.. sort of.
Today I came to mahajanga to meet some of the PC crew up visiting, and at 11:30 the Baka (ferry) left the shore... circled back and picked up a cow that was hog tied and floated over, left again... circled back to pick up someone's duck who had tried to escape by throwing itself overboard, but was captured and returned to it's owner.. third time was a charm and off we went. Only 30 mins behind departure, not too shabby.
Will try for photos tomorrow, xoxo! chan

Mahajanga, day two.. It's been great to be in town catching up with Esther, Joanna and Devyn, volunteers who live south of me that I haven't seen since January. Spent today wandering around, eating gelato and buying veggies that I can't find in Katsepy. It was FREEZING this morning... finally got Esther to agree that it was low as 75, but she was leaning towards 80. The glacial breeze was what pushed me over the edge. Luckily the clouds cleared and the sun bumped us up to a much more reasonable temperature.
Can't think of anything too interesting to write, I'm putting in my garden and should have veggies popping up in a few weeks.. found a boat that goes north to Nosy Be (20 hours) that I want to take in Aug/Sept (hint hint, Em!), Jennie and I are hoping to do a 180km bike trip to Soalala in July, while the roads aren't big mud pits, and I can bumble my way through Gasy a little easier each day. Life is good. xoxo chan
