i'm using an american keyboard right now and it's SO hard because i got used to the french ones. ugh...anyway, also regarding my previous blog post, apparently that taxi driver in tana does have my phone, and if you call him and ask for kathryn he will tell you that's his name. jerkface. somebody who i met today, who somehow had my old number (long story, obvi) had talked to him and told me, oh yeah, your phone's in ivandry (a neighborhood in tana). what. lame.
anyway, i'm in ambato, once again, and i've been here all week this time, teaching about HIV/AIDS at the lycee (like a high school) here in town with two other health volunteers and our education volunteer friend who teaches at the lycee. it's been a good time, though an exhausting time, because it turns out ed volunteers do about 90% of the work of all PC volunteers in madagascar. living the life of an ed volunteer for a week, having to be at school at 7 every morning, teaching 3 2-hour classes in a day, etc. has made me soooo excited to go back to the life of a health volunteer when i get to vohitsara tomorrow.
yes. in other news, i'll be in vohitsara for two weeks before i come back here on june 7th for a meeting with other volunteers in the area, and to attend one of two competing concerts happening in town at the same time, tsiliva and ambondrona. what kind of marketing tactic is that. i've been in my town for almost six months, how crazy is that.
ambato has ice cream and i've eaten it almost every day this week. that is clearly the highlight of this blog post.
i also have a pet lemur and chameleon. that's not true, but i did see a huge black and white striped chameleon (that must have just been riding on a zebra's back, i concluded) fight a dog...and win.
sorry my blogwriting skills have gone so far downhill...i don't remember how to talk to american audiences anymore. i'll have no social skills at all left by december 2009.

Manao ahoana. Sydney taught the third graders to say that. They loved it . . . and the pictures of you and all the kids and your house and radzako.
Great to talk to you today. Have a safe trip back to Vohitsara. Hope the taxi-brousse doesn't break down or make too many stops. Stay happy and healthy!
Love,
Mom
We love your blog with current news and also the pictures Sydney shared with us. Foo on the taxi driver who kept your cell phone! Hope it rings at 3am-- that's a political joke which you might not understand! It's just as well -- wish we didn't either. We think you look so happy. Keep it up and stay well.
Love,
Gammy and Pop-pop
I agree with Colin.
