does africa know a song of me?

I have finally made it to the lake!  Paul, Julie and I went on our biggest adventure yet yesterday when we set out for Nkhata Bay.  We survived all of the mini bus rides that it took to get there, and spent most of our day on Chikale Beach.  It was beautiful, warm and sunny, and we even made it in to the lake for a swim.  It's been so long since I've been swimming - it felt good to be in the water again.  We had a lovely lunch at a lodge just above the lake, and did a little bit of shopping, as there were tons of wood carvers there selling their wares.  It was a fun, adventurous day!
