We arrived in Madagascar two days ago late in the evening and as we were approaching the runway, we were straining to see city lights. Normally the city lights are visible for miles before we land, but this time we could only see a few lights from individual homes and buildings. No big street lights, few cars, and few signs of a bustling city life. Once off the plane and while driving with the local dentist, we realized this was in fact how things are. We have yet to see a stoplight. There are many cars, but there are no stop signs, traffic lights, or road signs. It is definitely very different from LA.
Our apartment has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, and most of the modern conveniences of a regular apartment in the States with a few exceptions (more on that later).
I will be posting pictures of various aspects of our life here in Madagascar. For now, here are two from today…
Boy - are you due for a visit to the North!!! Kai - gotta bring your girl to Fort Nelson ... imagine driving all that way with only a couple of traffic lights? Sorry - we've got one here!
