What is a great way to end a long-term volunteer work?  

Travel. c”,)

So me and my backpack have been roughing it up over the past 4 weeks in Madagascar.  Went local (but still paid at times like a tourist!).  We’ve been regulars of all their means of public transportation — taxi-be (like marshrutkas), taxi-brousse (trucks that take passengers), real truck (that’s brimming with stuffs and animals, then filled with 50-60 people if space permits….what space?!), back of pick-up cars also filled with things and people, pirogue (a small boat operated by paddle and sail), and cart pulled by zebu.

Met wonderful people.  Saw wonderful and remote places. Experienced another country — its people and culture.  Learned a lot.  

Fun.  Tiring.  Body (and pocket) aching.

Bristol Zoo Welcomes Their New Baby Ring-Tailed Lemur

Newborn ring-tailed lemur Rascal is given a hug by its father Rakota as it cuddles his mother Roxy back at Bristol Zoo Gardens on May 22, 2013 in Bristol, England.

The two-week old is one of a number of baby animals, birds and reptiles that have been born at Bristol Zoo Gardens now that spring has finally sprung.
