Karilosy taught Stacy and I how to lay bricks with mud this morning. He was making a raised bed for a garden. Stacy hopes to plant some veggies in it. Apparently this same procedure of laying bricks is used to make brick houses here. What along process! I cannot imagine doing it in the 100 degree heat!
This afternoon we visited Marc and Stacy's land lady in her little town. Like many other Malagasy, she lives right next door to all her relatives. I think we spent the majority of our time in the land lady's parents' home. While there our hosts spoiled us with cookies, soda, and other treats. Apparently they had gotten it all for me because I am a guest, so the land lady kept telling me, "eat, eat!" I had already eaten quite a bit, but I wanted to be polite so I ate more. Thankfully I still had an appetite for dinner later on. I'm beginning to see just how hospitable the Malagasy are.
