I have nothing new to report this fine Thursday morning.. I think the kids are getting antsy to 1) see spring break come and 2) get home..
There are moments here when things are fantastic.. When the kids couldn't be happier and thriving.. If you give them a little too much time to themselves with nothing to do, they tend to let their minds wander and drift back to home.. The good news is, we are inching closer to departure.. But, there is plenty of time to enjoy what we have left here..
We are all very excited for spring break to come.. Michelle heads to Cape Town, SA to take a test on March 23.. when she comes back, me and the kids start a two week vacation.. We are in need of a good vacation .. We will take the first week of that break and putz around Lilongwe and the surrounding areas...
Then , we head to Cape Maclear for 3 days, then head south to see the third largest mountain in Africa (mt. Mulanje) for 2 days, then head to the Zomba Plateau for a night, then probably back to the coast for two more nights..
The beautiful thing about this country is the fact that nothing is that far away.. 4 hours here, 4 hours there... Nothing is a huge trek.. which makes traveling with the kids really easy. They just have to be willing to have snacks they don't like, pee in pits and never see a rest stop.
Here's the places we are staying.. click on the links below.. Two of the places are cottages rented out by church organizations.. They are self catering, but the price is about 50$ a night for the whole house.. and the views are fantastic..

We also hope to try our hands at horse riding while at Zomba.. here's the site for that..

Ok, got to go... 2nd grade class coming in to my room.. Hope all is well back home.
