A couple more of my favorite photos from Malawi before I move on to Mozambique:
Mount Mulanje — apparently there is a porter race that goes up the face of this giant and down the other side. Amazing!
A truck that looks like it might just die on the spot from being overloaded: a common sight on roads in southern Africa. The only thing missing from this scene is a goat or a bunch of chickens tied to the top of the heap.
Pretty patio in Malawi. I love the simplicity of the furniture and colors. I want my patio to look like this!
Jack fruit. I’m not sure what these taste like, unfortunately. But I can tell you their seeds mold within days. You take a walk around these trees and there are hundreds of furry little seeds at your feet growing like petri dishes.
I did, however, get a chance to eat this baby. And a few others. I love grilled fish with lime.
The Lujeri Tea Estate has a pretty remarkable health care system for their employees. They have 60 births a week at their five clinics. I think this must be one of the highest fertility rates in the world. I was impressed with the cleanliness and access to service they provide their workers. (It’s win-win. Healthy workers = more tea.)
An African shower. Just add hot water to bucket.
African breakfast. Mosquito repellent, tea and biscuits (cookies).
African lodging. This is the home my friends Ken and Debby built. It is so pretty inside and the thatch roof keep the bush babies away.
Mozambique manana, amigos!
