A spring weekend on Ile de Madeleine with the ISD Cub Scout troop, many of whom are incoming grade 6 students. A highlight of the trip was encountering a non-venomous green snake (photo5). Photo 6 shows the baobab tree where the protector jinn of the island resides. Visitors are asked to remove their shoes as a sign of respect, as you might entering a mosque, or other sacred places.

Hi Tod,
What weird and beautiful place. From the pictures it looks like a series of lava spears rising up from the ocean.

Ahhh Tod. You stir the senses of the Senegalese soup simmering within the grey matter of my consciousness. Ile de Madeleine was a wonderful spot; a refuge....despite the jellyfish :)

Yours in the M&M, Tj
