The weather here really varies a lot. On the plateau where we train, the weather is nice during the day and cooler at night. Once you get off the plateau the weather is a lot warmer on the east coast where my site is even at night. We are at the end of the rainy season here right now and cyclone season I believe? haha I'm not really sure, it's not like we have weather forecasts here or anything haha. You just go with things and always have a rain jacket.
My site is amazing!!! I absolutely love it! It's so cute and the people are amazing! I have my own rice field already, so awesome. It's one of the smallest sites in Madagascar I believe which is exactly what I wanted. My house is pretty much a tree house, its just made out of things from a tree haha. It's a lot bigger than I originally thought too it has two rooms. It's amazing and you get to drive my Ranomafana National Park on the way to it and its gorgeous! The drive is so awesome and I can't wait to explore in that park since it's so close. My site is gorgeous as well and used to be part of the rainforest but isn't anymore. There are still tons of palm trees around though and some banana ones. We also have coffee trees and many others! I wish I could put up the pictures that I took from it, but my camera is dead at the moment. I will try to update within the month though!! I'm really excited about my site though, it's the place that I totally imagined when I applied to the peace corps!! I'll update soon and pray you are all well!!!

Sounds very cool!! Who are you living with in the tree house? I feel like you are in the Swiss Family Robinson sort of.
