Trips
Madagascar
11/3/2017
: After a long day of driving, we arrived at Isalo for our first pizza of the trip. Spent some time looking for, and not finding, the Madagascar Partridge after.
11/4/2017
: We headed over to the national park where we took a walk through some canyons climbing to an overlook. We walked back down to the canyons to swim in some very cold and clear water. Lemurs were on the attack in the picnic area, and some tourists could not resist feeding them.
