Glorious Rain!!!

Yesterday at about 3:30 (just when swimming practice was about to begin), the skies opened up on Lilongwe and we received the first rain since I've been here.. It was a steady hard rain that lasted through the evening.. It was wonderful , but we quickly realized that with the rain comes more mosquitoes.... Taken precautions.  The rain was fantastic and continued the cool trend we've had the last few days...

Right as we sat down for dinner, the electricity for most of the city went out.. We had a romantic candlelight dinner and spent most of the night in the dark.. I fell asleep listening to the sound of rain and frogs in our yard going to town.. It was a sound I haven't heard for a long, long time.

Not much to report... Planning to have some friends over for a braai this evening... and nothing else. Look forward to the end of the work day..

Here's the sound the rain. The recording doesn't quite capture the amount of croaking taking place in our yard.. I would video taped it, but it was pitch black anyway..
