Rainy Day
It has been one gloomy and rainy day here in Blantyre. I'm sitting here super cold. It just makes me laugh that it is so cold in Africa right now (at least in the south). I'm not complaining, because it could be colder and it could be really HOT. It is about 66 degrees outside and inside too. Yes, the buildings here are made out of brick and cement...just like they were in India. So when it is really hot, the coolness of the evening hours traps inside and keeps the inside at least remotely cool while the outside is hot. We are coming out of winter here in Malawi and soon will be in the "rainy season". Humidity + Heavy Downpours each and every day = Rainy Season. I'm sure the rains plus our hilly, dirt road to our house will make for some interesting posts and pictures in the future! :) We love being here and are so thankful for the cool-down before the heat and rains come! Chabwino! (Chechewa for "alrighty...or good")

Hmm..yeah I was not thinking that you would be posting about it being cold in Africa. I never think of Africa as cold. I hope you brought a few warmer things. So what have you been missing? American food? Conviences? Your car?
It's still hard for me to believe that you're over there, but it's so fun to hear from you!
i never would have thought about africa being cold - that is so funny! i LOVE our technology that keeps us in touch even while you are halfway around the world!!!
