Malawi!

I have been doing a bit of traveling recently.  About 2 weeks ago I had a conference in Lusaka, the capital, for a check in and doctor and dentist appointments.  It was great to see all of the people I came into country with even if it was only for a few short days.  After that I went to Malawi to go swimming and take a little break.  Nothing too crazy happened we made it safely up to Nkhata Bay, but on the way back our bus broke down so we had a little adventure hitching and mini bussing.  But here are some pictures from the adventure.

We shared the lake with a crocodile.  It liked hanging out in the same bay we liked going swimming in.

Maggie, Leanne and David all went to Rurawe on alittle boat....I decided I didnt want to get sea sick.

Oh just another mini bus ride with some sort of creature sharing the seat with you.

kids will be kids

So one day about a month ago the kids took me to the "river".  I had been wanting to go to go swimming.  Little did I know how much joy I would find in 2 very dirty looking pools of water.

The river had dried up mostly.  Durring the rainy season you can get lots of fish but now all that is left of it is 2 murky pools.  I was hesitant to go swimming at first...but how can you resist.  Kids love water wherever they are.  I hope you enjoyed this afternoon jaunt to the river.
