A trip to a game preserve with our visitors

We had a great time with our two visitors, David and Deborah, showing them around Blantyre and walking them to death (hope you guys can forgive us!). Deborah spent most of her week helping Kaye at the nursing college training nurses in how to use an ultrasound machine. It was a huge success, and very much appreciated by the college staff and students. David did a lot of walking around town and just enjoying himself. The weather was a bit hot, but that didn't stop his activities.

While they were here, we took the time to visit a local game preserve. A good friend from our church offered the use of one of his cars, and a driver. Greatly appreciated and enjoyed! The Majette preserve is in one of the hottest areas of the country, past Chickwawa and near the lake. There are others in the area, but this one was the most accessible during the time that we had available. Didn't see any elephants; probably too dry for them at the time.



Another day was spent visiting a typical Malawian village, accessible by bike taxis. We all made it, but we had to walk on a few occasions up the hills.





We found this snail in our carport area the other day. Easily 8-9 inches long!

Looking forward to the Thanksgiving gathering in Lilongwe. It will be held at the US Ambassador's house; the same place where we had the July 4th party. A lot of Americans from many US posts in Malawi, and a lot of good food. The party is to be held this Saturday, the 28th.

Enjoy the Holidays and keep us in your thoughts, as we will of you!
