I stole the post title from the village name "Ampleforth." I was convinced, somehow, that its name was "Ambleforth," which just seemed perfect, especially since we had to walk two and half miles to it from our campsite outside Helmsley. But then we arrived and I noticed the "p," which makes it not nearly as much fun, I think.
At any rate, we're ambling onwards. Today sees our removal from London to Madagascar, with a brief stopover in Italy to change planes (and cities, but whatever). We plan to be in Tana, the capital, for at least a few days, but we're not sure about internet connections so it might be awhile before we write again. Or it could be all of 24 hours. Whichever, I'm sure you'll be dying to hear about our first lemur sighting, so we'll take good notes.
