Update in Diego

So unfortunately my camera has gone MIA, I've been hoping that its lost in one of our luggages somewhere, but unfortunately that means no pictures, luckily all but a few pictures of the spiders outside our bathroom and the hissing cockroaches on our ceiling in the apartment in Fort Dauphin, the rest of my pictures are on a flash drive and safe.

So, I'm done with my ISP, with the paper that ended up being 51 pages long(including appendixes, index etc.) and my presentation and I'm pretty happy with how it all went. We left Fort Dauphin several days ago, flew back to the capital and then drove from there to the North tip of the island, where we are now, in Diego Saurez. It's been sort of like our family vacation at the end of our studies, we've visted some parks, spent time on the ocean and the beach at the "Emerald Sea" yesterday, and now free time today. The trip up has been gorgeous, there's more rainfall up here not to mention mango trees heavy with mangoes along the sides of the roads, or if you don't find one there being able to by 4 for 100 ariary(about 5 cents). One more night in Diego then flying back to Tana, one night there before leaving Madagascar! It's crazy how time has flown, I'm sad I'm going to be leaving, and leaving Fort Dauphin was hard as it had become a second home, with a lot of friends, my homestay families and places that had become familiar. But on the other hand, looking forwards to seeing many of you soon! A bientot, Veloma!
