Malawi so far...

We've been in Malawi for two days now and we're loving it. We spent 2 nights in the forest, elevation about 1000 meters above sea level. Reminded me of the mountains at home. Greg and I kayaked on the lake and everyone went on a little hike. Campfires, dice and local beers at night. We are on the way to a beach front campsite on lake malawi for 4 days. We stopped at the local market in some town, all bought each other the craziest clothes we could find, are going to exchange outfits and then drink special recipe punch on the beach tonight. Last night the bartender had a CD with country music on it so Greg, Allison and I taught the rest of the group how to have a two-steppin hoe-down. A few nights ago we camped with the hippos. One girl didn't close her tent door properly so they found only a mildly poisonous snake inside when going to bed. Only found mildly poisonous spiders so far too. It is raining today for the first time on our trip. No sunburns at all yet. That's all for now.
