Heading home

My teaching in the PCYM is over, and my last day in Madagascar has been spent with some of the staff, who drove me into Antananarivo to see the city and to buy a few souvenirs at the craft market. The Madagascar T-shirt I bought in 2007 is looking rather old and worn, so I was able to choose a replacement today!
We've had thunderstorms and torrential rain every evening since I arrived in Tana, but the weather is nonetheless warmer here than what awaits me in Europe. It was around 26 degrees here today, but at midnight I'll be boarding the plane for Paris and I see that temperatures are hovering horribly close to zero there. At least it'll be a little warmer again when I arrive in Alhaurin tomorrow afternoon - even if it does look like being a rainy weekend ahead.
