Because it was the last night of our stay in the Relais du Rova for our orientation, the staff of the hotel decided to throw a little party for us! It was kind of like a cook out type deal – there were several courses including zebu on a stick, deep fried cauliflower, two huge ocean fish cooked by the French equivalent of clint eastwood who was also vacationing at the same place (Raymond), a starchy, white vegetable that I can’t remember the name of, cooked tomatoes, vegetable soup, and lots of vanilla rum!!!!!! C’est beaucoup, non? It was really unbelievable. The flavors of the food here, especially the meat, are unlike anything I’ve tasted before [thus far] – I guess I would describe them as incredibly savory?
After the party, we resituated at the bar with the owners and their friends. And the dancing began! It was a mix of American dance (jerk, bernie, cat daddy, swing, LIMBO) and Malagasy traditional dance called heuragasy– obviously I had a ball. It was so much fun.
