If interested, take a look at some of the short videos linked on the left side of the page. Two of my favorites are Ride of the Valkyries and Man Walking to Light. The movies were a way to document my time in the north country. With luck, I'll be able to post some interesting one's from Madagascar.

This photo, as well as the one heading this page, was taken in Ambatofotsy by Jonathan Annis. It is here that I might spend the next two years of my life.

Here is PCV Jon Annis helping two workers transport cement across a rice paddy. Jon will help me in my transition before he returns to MTU to present his research.

Mr. Barrett wakes early today and poaches two eggs. Nothing specific to report on his actions aside from noting that his departure date approaches swiftly - February 12th. He will report to Philidelphia, where he will then be given his mandate & sent off via New York, Dakar, & Johannesburg to Antananarivo. He has a glass of milk and goes to bed. I wonder if he realizes that soon he will be sleeping on compressed earth.
