Madagascar
Madagascar, a huge island nation off the southeast coast of Africa, is home
to thousands of animal species – like lemurs – found nowhere else, plus rainforests,
beaches and reefs.
Near the busy capital, Antananarivo, is Ambohimanga, a hillside complex of royal palaces and burial grounds, as well as the “Avenue of the Baobabs,” a dirt road lined by massive centuries-old trees.
Capital: Antananarivo

I visited Foulpointe and Tamatave. I stayed at a small hotel in Foulpointe for $5.
I took the bus back and stopped to Andasebe, where I stayed at another hotel
and went to see the Lemurs this morning. I am now going to return to Antananarivo.
I will skip going to see those big baobab trees until next time since it takes 2 days by bus to get to the west coast. I just went to the east coast. It is easy to travel here.
Maybe Mother can join me next time to see the Baobab trees.
