So I was bored at work today, and thought I'd share some more of the pictures from my trip. Hopefully you enjoy, and there's always more where these came from, if demand is high.
A small village we saw on the way to examine a patient. Later in the rainy season, all of the terraces will be green with growing rice.
These are the taxis that you use to get around the city. Most of them were made in the 60's in France. They've very likely been in constant use since then. In one of them, the gas tank was a water bottle on the floor of the driver's side with a tube stuck in it. It was always an adventure getting across town.
This was in the rainforest we visited. The snail isn't too impressive until you know it's about the size of a fist.
This is a blank and white ruffed lemur, which is one of the more distinct looking types and one of my favorites.
This is my other favorite type of lemur, the Bamboo lemur. You can probably guess what they eat. (Hint: It's bamboo)
This is a typical scene in the highlands area in the center of the country. Rice is their main source of food, so there are numerous rice fields, like this one, everywhere.
A schoolhouse in one of the villages we visited. Kids were always curious when we rolled into their town.
A view of Antananarivo (Tana for short) from the top of a hill. This is the capitol city, and where I lived for the 6 weeks I was there.
A really pretty waterfall we stopped to see while on the road one day.
This is the means of transportation between villages in the more rural areas. It's called a taxi-brousse, or "bush taxi."
