Michelle and I had a nice evening out with friends.. We headed out to "quiz night" at The Living Room Bar and spent the evening testing our knowledge of 2014.. Michelle nailed a "who are these people?' section of the quiz where she had to recognize the photos of the top 10 people googled during 2014.. She got all of them in probably 20 seconds.. I was of little help to the squad but landed a few correct answers.. Our team named "the moonshiners" came in 6th out of 17 teams..
A nice morning here as we prepare for the weekend.. Kate is wrapping up a week full of exams. We'll celebrate with grilling chicken burgers, homemade chips(fries) and some bottles of fanta.
Last evening the kids played a soccer match with our guard Joseph. This is becoming a daily event and I think Joseph enjoys it as much as the kids do. Joseph is usually the one asking if anyone wants to play..
Below the photos include.. a photo of a gentleman at Chipiku sorting through my recyclables.. this usually happens every time we go to the grocery store. Also photographed are people waiting for sliced fresh bread. As with most things in Malawi, you have to wait.. If you want your bread sliced, you got to wait.. The man in the white runs the bread through a machine to slice.. the bread is delicious here, made fresh everyday and costs about 50 cents.
Other photos are Joseph and the kids (video also below).. quiz night and the wall of the bathroom that is wallpapered with Chibuku wrappers.. Chibuku is the sorghum(sp?) beer that is brewed throughout southern Africa. It was popular in Botswana too.. It is white, looks like wheat paste. I can't describe the flavor, except that it doesn't sit well with me.. The beer comes in cartons(think milk) and is warm.. Yes I know it sounds refreshing..
We may head to the forest this weekend and go back to Ntchisi.. So I may take a break tomorrow as we will hit the road. But before we go, I'll probably take in a round of golf...
Happy Friday everyone
