Life in Camp

 

 Welcome to camp Ambodimanga! We were incredibly well taken care of by the local women of Ambodimanga. They cooked us three meals a day - rice plus some combination of vegetables or a bean stew, plus meat such as zebu stew, crab, fried fish, or chicken stew. The camp crew also kept the facilities clean, and filled our shower tanks every morning from the well. We even had a camp guard to keep us safe at night.

Here are some pictures taken in camp.
