A few things I have done

Okay so I will keep it short I think most of my post have been incredibly long and I am sure those of you with ADD don't even get to the end :)

So this past week I cooked lunch for my group village headman (basically the chief of the area he has other chiefs under him, so a pretty big deal)and Andrew. I made beans, rice, tortillas, and guacamole well actually Os made the guac. They both said they liked it. It is a pretty big deal not to serve nsima here but I did it!

I hiked up on Mt. Mulanje it was so amazing and beautiful I wish the pictures I put up did it justice.

Bought some beer for my house, now its a home :)

Went to the market in the rain even though the Malawians said I shouldn't go and even offered to have people go for me. I was very cold after the fact because i kept my wet clothes on so that they would dry. Had some soup and changed clothes and warmed right up. Who would have thought I would be cold in Africa, not me that's for sure!

Well my Peace Corps boss is coming tomorrow and another volunteer is coming to visit on Saturday so that will be nice to have some visitors.

All is well and I am enjoying life here.
Lots of Love

  1. Hi Es,
    Can't wait to see how beautiful Mt. Mulanji is in person next year! Glad you made your house feel like a home by buying some beer! HA!

    Crazy you got so cold & kept the wet clothes on! Makes me cold just hearing it! I still need to hear from you about your Peace Corps boss!

    Love ya, Mom
