The place looks like it was beautiful in its prime. The landscape was beautiful. I posted a map so you could get a general idea of where we were.

Madagascar (no, not the movie)
We stayed in 2 cities in Madagascar (it is the island to the east of Africa). One was the capitol and the other just a normal city, Antsiranana. The place was very poor. We had beggars all over us wanting anything we would give them. One lady (we call her the "mista, mista" lady) followed us for at least 2 blocks saying over and over "Mista, Mista...feed the baby." So, one of the guys I was with gave her his remaining swig of water in his water bottle. You would have thought she won the lottery!! Makes you realize how much you take for granted!

Love the pics! That waterfall is AMAZING! It doesn't take long when you're in a country like that to just want to give the people everything that you came with!
hey, i didn't know you had a blog...hard to keep up with when you're so busy, eh?
Love your pictures! It's so shocking to go to a country with such amazing natural beauty surrounded by such extreme poverty. Very sobering...
