back online in October!

This will be my last post for awhile. I'm heading back to site today, or tomorrow, depending on the oh-so-dependable taxi brousse situation.

The next time I'm online may not be until October. There's an AIDS awareness bike race every year in Tamatave, which I regrettably missed last year. I'm going to make it a point to be there this year.
Until then, I'll probably just be hanging out at my site gardening and reading lots of novels. I may take a trip up to Maroantsetra briefly in July, and I'll also be painting two murals with Tom and Faith in the next few months.
I may find another excuse to get myself online before October, but right now I have no plans.

The actual point of this blog is that an observant friend of mine pointed out I posted my most recent phone number but left out two digits (thanks Greg!). So now you all have a good excuse for not calling/texting me for all these months (since February when I lost my phone).

Here's my actual phone number:
011 261 32 55 302 61

I'd love to hear from you. Really... messages in English are few and far between these days... always always greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for staying in touch. Take care.
