Misaotra

Two weeks are hardly enough to understand the culture of a country, especially so, if you travel a little upscale, which I kind of did compared to the way I usually try to travel. But with the little that I’ve seen, I’d have to say that Guatemala has a rival for the nicest people. I’ve been getting a “Bonjour” and a big smile from almost everyone I cross on the street. Not to mention that Madagascar is a country where the flora and fauna has been able to develop almost freely and uniquely due to a lack of many predators. That itself makes this country very special.

But, surprisingly, I’ve been most charmed by Antananarivo, the place where I reached first and spent 3 days catching up on sleep. I went for a walk around the city this morning, and it’s really pretty. One of the prettiest African cities I’ve seen, I think.

The last two weeks, I’ve gotten exactly what I wanted and needed. Relaxation, and barring a few spells of rain, mostly blue skies.
