While Marc ran various errands I took a little nap after breakfast. A little while later I awoke to my cell phone ringing. It was John! Though it was 2:00am in Vermont, he had stayed up to call me from his skype account! It was nice to hear his voice and tell him about my previous travels. It's just not the same through email.
For lunch Marc and I ate at Dave and Hazel Horton's. They are another missionary couple working with Africa Inland Mission (AIM) like Marc and Stacy, and they are from England. I spent the afternoon with Hazel, going up to the viewpoint, talking, and shopping a little bit. I have really enjoyed meeting all these missionaries. It's so neat to see the diversity of their backgrounds, ministries, and even way of living.
This afternoon we packed twelve people into Dreice and Marlee's land rover. Of these twelve people there were two Americans, five South Africans, and five Malagasy. Among us, five different languages were represented (if not more): English, French, Common Malagasy, Afrikaans, and Bara.
Madagascar in itself appears to be very diverse. There are Asians, Indonesians, Africans, French people... It's fare more diverse than Uganda.
