We are so small among these giants
Avenue of the Baobabs的点评
点评：On the way here, we did a pit stop to see Les Baobabs Amoureux (the lovestruck baobabs). There are few local women with painted faces with their children sitting under shade trying to sell baobab fruits, other unknown foods, oil, and wood carvings (mostly in the shape of these celebrated lovestruck baobabs). We are charged to park the vehicle while we look at these famous lovestruck double-twisted-trunk baobabs.
Then, I was dropped off at the beginning of the ‘avenue’ bordered with colossal baobabs and told to meet the driver at the other end of this avenue, that I should, admittedly, enjoy the view by foot, which I did.
Although wonderful and awe filling – the publicity around this avenue is a bit over the top. There are not that many large baobabs, and it can be overcrowded. I had to zigzag around tripods topped with cameras waiting for the perfect sunset picture, people jostling for the perfect spot.
There is a small shop/café nearby but noticeably, none of the locals eat or drink there, only the tourists. The locals go across the avenue and eat/drink with other locals. I followed my driver and watched the grilling of meats that looked much better than what was offered to the tourists. By the way, this little café/shop is the only place, I’ve been to in Madagascar, where they expect you to pay to use their restroom.
Since the tour includes waiting for the sunset to hopefully take pictures of these giants against a beautiful red sky and that we had arrived too early for that, I went to the small shop and ordered a baobab fruit juice. It was cold and delicious – and I know I won’t be able to find that once I get back home.
In my case, clouds came and we didn’t get the sunset colors we had hoped for, but it was still something nice to see. The reflections of these titans crowned with clouds in the nearby pond filled with ducks and purple water hyacinths is also picture worthy.
Down or near the avenue were some local kids playing in the water, zebus herded by an old man with the customary long stick, a small cart filled to the brim with kindling pulled by an old tractor driven by two small boys, and a gaggle of kids carrying backpacks coming back from school. The locals just living their normal lives, looking so tiny among these startling behemoths.
However, it brought me some sadness to think that in the past there were baobabs like these everywhere – what we are seeing is a very tiny fraction of what used to be – and hopefully we can save them. Your short visit supports approximately 64 families - a kind reminder. Enjoy!

翻译：在来这里的路上，我们稍作停留，去观赏了“恋爱中的猴面包树”。有几位脸上涂着彩绘的当地妇女带着孩子坐在阴凉处，试图出售猴面包树果实、其他不知名的食物、食用油以及木雕制品（大多是以这些著名的“恋爱中的猴面包树”为造型）。我们被要求把车停好，然后去观赏这些有着双螺旋状树干的著名“恋爱中的猴面包树”。
接着，。我被送到这条两旁种满巨大猴面包树的“大道”起点处，并被告知要到大道的另一端与司机汇合。当然，他们建议我步行欣赏沿途的风景，我也照做了。
虽然景色确实美妙得令人惊叹——但关于这条大道的宣传有些言过其实了。实际上并没有那么多大型猴面包树，而且那里常常人满为患。我不得不绕过那些架着照相机、等着拍摄完美日落画面的三脚架，人们也都在争抢最佳拍摄位置。附近有一家小商店/咖啡馆，但有趣的是，没有一个当地人会在那里吃喝，只有游客才会光顾。当地人则穿过马路，和其他当地人一起用餐或喝酒。我跟着司机，目睹了烤肉的过程——那些肉看起来比提供给游客的食物美味多了。顺便说一下，这家小咖啡馆/商店是我在马达加斯加待过的地方中，唯一一个要求顾客付费才能使用洗手间的地方。由于这次游览的内容包括等待日落，希望能拍摄到这些巨型树木在绚烂的红色天空映衬下的身影，而我们到达的时间又太早，于是我便去了附近的小店，点了一杯猴面包树果汁。果汁冰凉可口——我知道等回到家乡后就再也喝不到了。
就我而言，天空中飘来了云层，我们没能看到期待中的日落美景，但即便如此，这一幕依然很值得欣赏。那些头顶云冠的巨石在附近的池塘中倒映出水面，池塘里有鸭子游弋，还长满了紫色的水生植物，这一景象同样值得入画。
大道两旁或附近，有一些当地小孩正在水中嬉戏；一位老人拿着惯常使用的长棍驱赶着牛群；两个小男孩驾驶着老式拖拉机，拉着一辆装满了木柴的小车；还有一群背着书包的孩子正从学校回家。当地人就在这般过着他们的日常生活。在这些令人惊叹的巨树之间，它显得如此渺小。
不过，一想到过去这类猴面包树遍布各地——我们现在看到的只是过去存在的极小部分而已——心中便涌起一丝伤感。希望我们能够保护它们。您这次短暂的到访有助于帮助大约64个家庭——这是一种善意的提醒。祝您玩得开心！
