Malawi, Africa/4

We are packing up and getting ready for the two day trip home. I thought I would just add another story or two before we left.

As most of you know Jan loves babies and misses her grandkids. Last week in the villages she asked if she could hold a baby and immediately about six moms hurried to her with there children.

One evening we were leaving a village after greeting and visiting with the folks there and there were eight older fellows sitting on straight chairs. Harrison told us they were chiefs from surrounding villages. I asked that we stop and say hello so I quick grabbed eight seed corn hats, shook there hands the Malawian way, and asked if I could take their picture.

This is a villagers kitchen and this is how they fed us. Food is involved at most get togethers.

On some occasions the men of the villages would wait at the bad spots in the road hoping to push out dumb white guys for money.

I found a fellow Dekalb dealer. It was a store in the village of Lobie.

This is Jo-Jo, Andy, and Brian. They live in the city and made me promise them if I ever came back I was to bring them back all our old cell phones.

These are Beth and Dan's two oldest children, Jim and Liz. It was so fun to see them again and hard to say good bye.
