Saturday, A beautiful trip to Lake Malawi for lunch. Lake Malawi is about 1 1/2 hours away. It is a deep lake about half the size of Lake Michigan. The water is blue with white sand. It is in the middle of nowhere, a two lane paved road with lots of people walking along it. We passed rubber trees on the way. It was warm at the lake and I did roll up my slacks and wade in the water. We had a nice lunch with the ROS couple, Paul and Aileen, who drove us up. We stopped on the way up to shop at the wood carvers which are about a 1/2 hour drive before the lake. The woodwork is beautiful and we had to barter a price. I could have bought a lot if I would have let myself go wild. I hate to think how much this stuff would be sold for in the US. I 'm guessing some business person gives them less than half of what we pay and charges 3 times as much if not more. What is neat is that it is carved here not in China.
Sunday
A quiet day after church, brunch and some shopping at the pottery shop. Once again beautiful pottery made in Malawi.
