Quick Update

Once again I'm in town trying to do a million errands before it is to late to catch a brousse back to my site. Here's a quick update...

Just got back from a trip to Marojejy with a researcher from Duke Lemur Center (a pretty cool place, google it). Saw lots of cool things (pictures later) and discussed possible opportunities for collaboration in the future.

Rice on the hillside isn't looking so good. We replanted with "vary madiniky" (small rice) which is supposed to grow quick so everything will be ready to harvest at once. My neighbor thinks chickens ate the rice seeds before, so we closed up the holes. I am skeptical due to lack of weeds growing there, and the fact that the hillside is not easy to climb. Will be checking on the new rice in the next few days to see if its growing.

River is super full so I've been banned from crossing. Long story. I may have found a fence builder so I can construct a garden at home but jury is still out on that.

Going on vacation to Diego next month! Should be a fun time.

Well that's it for now. I'll try to prepare a better post next time. Love; Leslie
