Lemur Lovin - Finally!

Hey all!
So im using my friends host dads comp and she left the house andi feel kinda awkward so im going to try to make this short.
This week was our lemur ecology camping trip! left on sunday and drove a brutal 6 hours to get there-the roads are all ripped up and full of puddles thanks to the cyclone. stopped iun a village for lunch and literally there was an insane mob of kids attacking us for money and candy. it was insanity and i felt so bad but i didnt have anything for them and it was just really overwhelming. its really heart wrenching too because they are soooo thin and malnourished with those big bellies that stick out. it makes me really sad but i canùt really do anything about it. anyways we got there and set up camp. went inot the forest and saw real life lemuyrs! theyre called sifaka and theyre big and white and you should look them up cuz theyre awesome! did a population density habitat and behavior study on them. it was raining a ton we were all drenched. sat out and looked at the stars one night that was incredible! theres so many stars they fill up the whold sky! sang songs and played cards actually felt like camping. on the way back stopped at berenty reserve and there were literally lemurs a foot away from us theyre totally used to humans there. also ate a rezal nice lunch so that was ecxiting. random food story: so the night i got home i was eating with my host family when my dad asked me what our topping was so i said zebu and he said ya ya tongue and then just kept eating! ah! but im so proud of myself i was just like ok wait gotta follow my dont htink just eat motto and it was only the meat and rice for dinner so i didnt have much of an option so i just got over it and ate it! it didnt taste bad i think ive eaten it like 3 times already. so go me! i would have never ever done that before haha.
anyways tomorrow we leave for a week long stay in a tiny village. im just with one other girl from SITand then a malagasy student. they speak a completely different dialect in this village so communication might be an issue. also they dance for about 4 hours every night! and their dance is basically high-knees and stomping around (chelsea its just like stomp club! ok not just but like our crazy version oif it) not reallly sure what else to expect.

its still raining tons here-walked in puddles up to my knees to get into town today. so hopefully the roads are good enough for us to get to the village.
theres a ton more i want to stay but im worried about using their computer for too long so im going to end this one here. ill try to put more detail and excitingness in my next entry.  miss you all and love you!
