Madagascar Remembered

Hey Everyone! Hope your all well.
Not too much to report this week. I spent the weekend chillaxing in Basel, had many coffees and ice teas in the local coffee bars and of course grabbed a bit of the Ashes action! The weather was really lovely and on Saturday I spent a bit of the afternoon in the "GartenBad" in St.Jakob (a suburb of Basel very near to Muttenz), it is a garden with 3 different swimming pools, one with more slides for children, and another one for more serious swimmers. I was able to blend in and pretend that I belonged in this pool. Then I headed for English mass in Bruderholz, and enjoyed listening to the enthusiastic American music leader.
Catching up on the news at the weekend, I was shocked and saddened to see that the situation in Madagascar is rapidly disintergrating. I've included the link to the article that triggered this post. It was mostly upsetting, as I had such a get time in Madagscar, and learnt so much there, and the all the people I meet there were incredible. It was poignant to think that as I am enjoying another adventure in my life, my first big adventure destination is going through such a terrible time. Please return the situation in your prayers.
