Notes

Perfectly normal, from another perspective.

Laundry June 18

Waking up. For Real @ 5:30 am. June 18

Sign of Strength

Confirming women are the greater sex. Case closed. Whether coal, bananas, bags of groceries, women do this too. Like its nothing. Ok men carry heavy things too, but not on the top of their head in a balancing act that defies gravity.

What an inspiration in balance, control, and that there sure are lots of ways to do most everything. And another lesson, on just how environment matters. What is considered normal largely depends on environment. Can’t imagine doing this back home, right?

Laundry, this way.

This is how it’s done. Once a week, all laundry is washed by hand. Rinsed, and squeezed, by hand. Find a good spot on the rocks and lay those babies out.

Airing your laundry. It has to happen. This way out here.

Room with a Serious View.

Still somewhat dazed and confused, and now by astonishing beauty and tranquility. This will be my spot for now, a long now. It’s tropical and there are no bugs. Ok, I’ve seen some ants and a few bees. Travel to the tropics during the dry season for a bug-free experience. Limited wild life too..

Made it!

Nosy Be is the largest of a group of Malagasy islands to the northwest of the grande terre, as the locals say. The big island, Madagascar, is across the bay for me now.

Are we documenting this?? Yeah, we are. More to follow….
