Hop, Skip, Jump: Madagascar

Early May brought me to La Reunion's large island neighbor, Madagascar. I spent a fast but colorful week in the country's north, exploring the small fishing village of Ramena and her surroundings. I was the guest of a midwife friend from Reunion, and her father, who spends a large portion of every year visiting Ramena as its village doctor. Our arrival signified that "The Doctor was In" and between Anouk and her father, Gilles, they greeted many patients over the course of our stay. This was of course, a privileged position, as we were given the royal treatment everywhere we went. We were invited into homes, confided in, and accompanied around town.

The following are some of my favorite pictures from the week:
