Myself, Beth and Cory having a good time at one of our favorite stomping grounds, the Hotel Relais-Bara in Ihosy. We all get together about once a month to tell stories and have some fun...basically, to take a break from life in our villages. |

Little beer, big beer. Kristen and Beatrice are two Peace Corps friends of mine. We are all having drinks at the Hotel de France, a favorite hang out in Tana, where they actually serve up draft beer that tastes a hell of a lot better than the national brew, Three Horses Beer. |

Adam and Ashita smile for the camera. Adam is sporting a "soul patch" in this picture...it's kind of hard to see but you can make out some facial hair just above his chin. We are not sure whether he actually thinks it is cool or whether he is making an ironic statement. |

Neal and me go head-to-head with the biggest steins anywhere outside of a Munich beer garden. Yes, this picture was also taken at the famous, or infamous, Hotel de France. You can tell because of the bright flourescent lighting and faux-European bistro style decor. |

Jonathan and I set a record for the largest amount of beef "brochettes" consumed in one sitting this evening. There is a little hotely, or restaurant, around the corner from our former transit house in Fianarantsoa that serves possibly the best brochettes in the country (the best if you don't count the "street" brochettes cooked up late at night on the main Avenue de l'Independence in Tana). |

Paul and Anne are a lot of fun, individually or together. They are one of the several married couples in Peace Corps Madagascar. They live in the far south in a very isolated village, but I try to hang out with them at every chance I get because it's always a good time. I mean, look at this picture...how could you think anything else? |

Adore, Jason, Christine, and I at a dance club, "Le Bus," in Tana. Adore is Jason's girlfriend, and Jason, is a former volunteer who couldn't get enough of lviing the expat life here in Madagascar, so he has stayed. Jason seems to be making some kind of snicker in this picture, which none of us remember him doing at the time the photograph was taken. Jason, what's the deal with the snicker? |

Look, a touriste! Christine agreed to pose for me on a busy Tana street because I thought she looked very touristic with her back-pack on and her flip-flops that have stars on them...Chris and I spent an entire month together in Tana while training a group of health volunteers, and I think she wore the star flip-flops to get my attention. |
