And I am ALIVE!!!!
It's been a week since I've been in Africa. And it has been nothing like I expected.
First, Zambia was FREEZING cold. Thank goodness we're out of there. Zambia is poor. 7 out of 10 people have HIV and the life expectancy is 31 years old! Gosh. We had a few days in Livingstone. We visited Victoria Falls. It is incredible! It is one of the natural wonders of the world. Such a beautiful experience.
Malawi feels more like Asia than Africa. The lake feels like the ocean and there are lush mountains and jungles everywhere. It's much warmer here, thank goodness. I managed to catch the flu a few days ago and am recovering quite quickly thanks to the weather. These last few days have been spent lounging on the beach, visiting schools and properly relaxing before going up to Tanzania tomorrow.
I AM DEFINITELY not a camper. =) But am happy to have this experience going through the real Africa. Will have more insights soon. I am feeling too drugged to be more eloquent.
Much love from Malawi!
