Wednesday September
19th
We got up early to
go to Alarobia (Wednesday in English)
where there is a big market once a week. I was very excited to be there after
years of absence. Sitting behind my brother on the motorcycle was not very
confortable but as I said earlier, the road had been paved and that made it
easier for me. 8 miles South (from Anjeva), 20 minutes and here we go. We went
all over the place looking for vegetables, sausages and beef. Yummy!!!

It was noon when we
finished our business at the market but despite the hunger, we came up with the
idea of going South again till we reached Ambatomanga, a small lovely location
known for its delicious cheese and youghurts.

There again, the
three of us (note: me and my brothers) thought we should continue and head to
Ankorona, the village our daddy comes from. My grandparents own a couple of
houses there and even though they live in town, they managed to keep the
properties in good condition.
What a nice day.
Not only we spent quality time together but we saw a lot of places breathing
the fresh air of the countryside. I almost didn’t feel my tiredness.
