I enjoy travelling. There are a lot of really interesting places in the world and my short lifetime is not going to give me enough opportunities to see them all, so that’s why I also enjoy reading about travel. One of my favourite websites in that regard is Gadling. One of their writers is Stephen Greenwood and lately he’s been writing about his journeys in Madagascar.  He’s also been posting several galleries of stunning pictures of the place.   This past week, he posted this item about Ilakaka and the sapphire trade.  This is his latest post about Toliara (Tulear).  This is what excellent travel writing does:  makes you want to visit the place for yourself.  You also can’t help but wonder about the progress of the gospel in a place like that…
