The other night I got probably the greatest compliment I’ve ever gotten. Lucy, Teschna, Morgan and I were eating bruschettes on bruschette alley in Tulear after dinner on Saturday (bruschettes are like mini-kabobs with 3 pieces of zebu meat, the middle one being fat and they are supposed to be eaten all at once) and I was hesitant at first because I’ve never been a fan of eating fat (I prefer filet mignon) but I ate it and it was really good. They cook them in front of you on a hot coal fire which is nice when it’s as cold as it’s been lately. After we finished all 15 that we bought between us (at 100 Ary each, so about 75 cents for 15) I said something along the lines of, “Wow that was amazing,” and Lucy said “I’m really glad you said that Alex. You really do make the most out of life.”
