More on Lake Malawi

fish!

Today was incredible! First went for a run on the beach. Went to the crazy crocodile site which is owned by a German. He drove all the way from Germany to Tanzania! Took four months. The four of us pals returned to our run and then jumped in the lake. Then we had breakfast. After we went on a canoe ride and snorkeled with the fish. Our canoe paddler, Emmanuel, said he could paddle all the way to Malawi in two days! Wow. We came back after a couple hours and ate fish. Yum! Then vegged out on the beach. Our Swedish friends came to visit, Lina and Malin. So fun. Talked about our exact same experience with terrible restaurant waitresses in Tukuyu! So funny. They always make you feel like you are totally inconveniencing them. Strange, we’re giving them business! So after, we played foosball, Joshua and I. Then my sister Christy called me. So good. Then I called Liz and we decided in 2012 to be the third set of volunteers for Pre-Form One at Manow Seminary School. I think it’s a great idea since she’s fluent in Swahili and I know the program…it would be so freakin fun!

Then we had chicken and pineapple for dinner. And chips mayai. (potatoes and eggs) After, we had a fun talk, the four of us about elections. Tomorrow we find out if Kikwete in the CCM party wins or Slaa! We hope Slaa to break the 51 year line of the CCM party. Then I had a great convo with Jacob about my family, school fees in Africa and getting Americans to donate…only $20 a year for a kid’s school fees! Plus Jacob’s plans and future and leaving Manow for grad school and having kids. It was nice. Ok, it’s midnight, goodnight.
