Madagascar


While my job sent me, for the umpteenth time, to Frankfurt, husband went to Madagascar. And even though he didn't bring a lemur monkey home for daughter, he has pictures and lots of stories to tell.

This little boy is leading a cow on a leash: 


Laundry day:


Street vendors selling lychees and mushrooms:







This little boy looks like he is waiting for the school bus. No idea, if there is such a thing as a school bus in Madagascar but clearly, he is waiting for something. He has an old backpack hanging off his back, no shoes and a very serious face.
About the same time this picture was taken, I took my godchild shopping for her school bag. The one we picked has extra soft and cushioned straps so her shoulders won't hurt and the back is carved like a child's spine so her posture will not be damaged. She will be perfectly taken care of.
