Veluma Mahambo











Alas....goodbye to the cyrogenically frozen little village of Mahambo.....Impossibly pure. Amazing the combinations one can make out of palm leaves, grass, fish, coconuts, vanilla beans, bamboo, and coral. I started to work on my video for the song "Tomorrow", which my dear pals Vaughn, Barry, and Ted helped compose. So funny trying to teach Malagasy people to sing lyrics written from half way around the world. I'll miss my little candle lit bungalow complete with posters of Britanny and Jessica. I was able to surf my first coral reef waves, which was a bit daunting, and then downright thrilling! Learning French has been the most difficult thing that I have ever attempted, but I made a little progress, and will continue. It is impeccable attention to detail, and I have a deep respect for those that are able to speak it. I am heading to the central highlans before returning to Tana to depart. Ever forward.....

  2. Did you perform for another classroom? It looks like a school in that photo. Hope you're enjoying the relaxation of life without a car. I still turn my head at the sight of small white trucks with campers, a unlikely possibility it is a bakkie, then the split second passes, a toyota..
