It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Madagascar World: Photos & Videos

Here's some video of swimming with my new submarine BFFs the whale sharks. The first clip is a shark accompanied by a feeder fish gang. The second is my friend Astara swimming RIGHT above a shark. In the third clip, it's hard to tell because of the depth perception, but the shark is about 10 meters long (and I'm the swimmer on the far side!). My friend Tyler captured all this footage with his GoPro camera. #Madagascar #PeaceCorps #UnderwaterSquad

Swimming with whale sharks is all good and fun until one decides to start breaching while you're still above it and almost splices you with its tail fin. 😁😆👍🏼 #madagascar #peacecorps #oceanlife

Rice Harvesting

It's rice reapin' time! In Madagascar we mandidy vary (cut rice) all by hand. Do you think I'll ever be able to use a sickle as fast as my Malagasy friends? #PeaceCorps #Madagascar #Agriculture #montage

Malagasy Jammin'

Movin with The Spirit in Madagascar!! At this picnic, community members enthusiastically sing a Malagasy hymn in celebration of Pentecost Sunday. No Malagasy party is complete without heartfelt song and dance! #PeaceCorps #culture

Culture of Church

I LOVE how much Malagasy culture is incorporated into my village's church services. For the Pentecost Sunday morning mass, the baptismal holy water was ceremoniously brought in by a woman carrying it on her head. There was also a special contribution of local tropical fruit, and of course explosions of joyful celebration! #Madagascar #PeaceCorps #culture

Neighborhood Showdown

What's better to do on a hot day than have a watergun fight with the neighborhood kids? #PeaceCorps #Madagascar #NiceShootinTex
