Back to the Grind

Hope everyone had a Happy 4th of July! (And Happy belated Birthday to Tom!)

I had a great holiday at Cape Maclear on the southern end of Lake Malawi. I traveled with Julie (of course), Kit, Jerms, and John. After transport on mini buses, canter trucks, and a short ride with a coffin, we finally arrived and quickly realized why this is the off season….because it’s COLD. A majority of our holiday was spent in long trousers, fleece, and hats. We had one really nice day and I managed to get a nice burn and a bit of a tan. We enjoyed the pizza, sunsets, snorkeling, and Carlsberg straight from the distributor. It was great to hang out with friends that I don’t get to see often enough and make new friends.

I won’t be returning to Malawi until I fly out at Christmas and I’m happy about that. Being in Malawi makes me realize how great the Zambian people are. We were constantly ripped off and hassled. This is bad for the tourist economy but that concept is lost of the offenders. Oh well, it’s great to be home!
