It is noon here and I am checking my email before we depart for Lilongwe,
although we are supposed to have high speed Internet tonight where we are
staying. It is beautiful and sunny here today with steady breeze from the
lake. We've watched the baboons play outside our room and just can't get enough
of watching them. Cara and Trey took a kayak out this morning. The children
have entertained themselves with homemade bows and arrows from sticks all
morning. The funny story is that Jack spotted one yesterday on our hike that a
child in the village had made and then cried when he had to give it back. One
of our guides made another one for him, then Ben cried that he did not have
one. Brown, our guide made Ben a little one, and both times a very nice man
gave him string from the net he was making by hand at the shore of the lake.
Today, Ellis decided she wanted to make one for Ellie and then made a tiny one
for herself. The simple things have been what they have enjoyed so much on this
trip, which is wonderful. They all have enjoyed each day so much and have made
many many friends quickly. Having the children with us has enriched the trip
beyond measure. We are hopeful to see the Olymipic opening ceremonies tonight.
