This day was the first day of the photography workshop. I returned from the eastern side and the rest
of the participants arrived last night - late. Of the 8 scheduled for the workshop, 4 had Covid issues - 3
caught
Covid in Paris taking a 3-day holiday before coming to Madagascar. And worst of all, Art Wolfe - the
leader/teacher
for the workshop did not make it out of the US. So instead of 10 in the party there were only 5 of us.
In October 2017, Princess Anne attended a Service of Thanksgiving to commemorate the 200th anniversary of the Diplomatic relationship between Madagascar and the United Kingdom.
Madagascar was a French colony from 1896 to 1958 when General De Gaulle announced Madagascar's independence. From 1958 to 1960, there was a transition government; independence was effective starting from June 26, 1960. That date is celebrated as independence day.
