Yesterday (Tuesday), we decided to begin our inactive part of our vacation – the beaching.
Besides actively hiding in the shade of a large palm leaf umbrella, we had the pleasure of observing the behavior of a group of Malagasy kids under the supervision of a young mother (?).
Playing on the sand, on rocks jutting out of the water (low tide), and frolicking in the water for several hours served a purpose: it was a display of joy, meant to be noticed by tourists stretched on loungers.
The entire family (?) expected some form of gratitude. They didn't extort money, waiting nearby for a reward.
Local people passing by on the shore added color to the whole situation...
