Out of order...this is actually the last photo of the trip! I caved in and bought some more wood carvings...they were really well done.

I felt so lucky to catch this! I was in Mulanje three mornings and I only saw the tea-pickers once.

Collecting wood | Mt. Mulanje, Malawi

There's a huge panga knife hidden in that armful of wood. And to think we barely allow children to use metal forks.

I don't know what this sign means either. It was on the front of the shop where I got my motorcycle ride to Njobvu.

Elephants | Liwonde National Park, Malawi

I was lucky to be in Liwonde during dry season. Malawi is not known for its abundant animal life, but with the lack of watering holes, a herd of about 12 elephants appeared to drink out of the Shire River. I'd never been on a safari before, and this was a rather cut-rate version of safari to begin with...and I was just blown away.

Hippos | Liwonde National Park, Malawi

Hippos are possibly the most common big animal to see around Liwonde.
