Headed out

It's 8 am here and we head out about noon. Should be about a 5 hour drive depending upon road blocks, goats, speeding tickets and other things.. There's an oasis of a rest stop about halfway between Lilongwe and Blantrye where you can stock up on beer and beef.. Drinking and driving is totally legitimate here and if you get a ticket, a good bribe is a bottle of "Green".. which is what everyone calls Carlsberg here..  This is also why it is best to be off the road at night...

All the kids are swimming about 9 events this weekend so I think we'll be at the pool all day long for the next few days...  Here's to hoping the kids do well, but not well enough that we have to go to Angola for another swim meet.. That could be expensive.

It's great to see the Reds are back in action.. Summer is around the corner folks.

Cheers from a perfect day here in Lilongwe... Sunny and about 62 degrees. High of 75 I think.

Below are some random photos for you.. Maura and our new dog "Indy".. apparently they dubbed him "Indy" because he is always trying to get IN to the house.. my kids are so clever.
