The Swedish Lady's Farm

Believe it or not, there are quite a few different nationalities here in Madagascar: French, Swedish, Dutch, German, American (duh, we're here), Chinese, British, and probably more that I can't recall or do not know of. Anyway, there is a Swedish lady that attends the same church here in Anstirabe. Her name is Betty and she owns a plot of land where she makes milk and cheese, harbors a variety of farm animals, grows a variety of fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs, and houses small groups for retreats. She also happens to have a small basketball court, two swings, and a see-saw.

It was at this place this past weekend where we spent a few morning hours with our language tutor and her family.


Waiting patiently for her turn or plotting a "coup d'etat" to get her hands on that bike.





Huddling under a hole-ridden canopy to keep out of the rain.

She's cute but she's fiery.



That's trouble brewing right there.

Rogue cow.

Wave would prefer to play with Niriko's three older brothers. She's referred to them as her "best friends".
