We have said ‘adieu’ to mangochi. It was a fabulous experience, but all of us were ready to move from the heat and on to a new adventure. We managed to find a ride in the back of an ambulance to Cape maclear, a major improvement from traditional Malawian transport.
;
;We are lazing at the beach, soaking up rays and enjoying the hammock. It beats sweating all night in our 92-degree airless room in mangochi (though that would be a close second, of course). We love the beach village lifestyle. Families come to the water multiple times each day to wash dishes, swim and bathe. There are always a slew of naked Malawian children splashing about.
;
;We took a short boat ride to a nearby island where we got to snorkel among the world renowned cichlids of Lake Malawi and enjoyed a delicious meal of fresh fish cooked over the fire. It doesn’t get much better than that.
;
;I apologize for the great silence on our part the past two weeks. Lydia had serious intestinal distress for a few days, and then it hit little Iris. It’s taken her a while to recover, but she is finally herself again. And, now that we are on the beach with a lovely breeze, she is finally heat rash-free for the first time since we arrived in mangochi.
;
;Our computer is on its last legs, I’m afraid (note the weird Uncorrectable typos in my text), so we will do our best to stay in touch the next two weeks.
