A day in the life...

As my summer here is winding down, I thought I'd put together some miscellaneous pictures into a composite of what an average, workin, weekday is like for us here. Its really not all hiking and gorgeous beaches and exotic animals, I promise.

6:30 AM - Morning run through cornfields, push-ups. Emily is my push-up guru.

7:30 AM - leisurely breakfast and working at the guesthouse.

9:00 AM - Today we went to the bank, because 20,000 kwacha just doesn't get you too far...

9:30 AM: Picking out fabrics and fresh vegetables at Devil Street Market.

12:30 PM: We've now officially crossed over from "mwadzuka bwanji" time to "mwaswera bwanji" time. Time for nsima lunch with the staff at Tidziwe.


1:30 - More work in the guest office at Tidziwe.

4:30 - Playtime in the front yard. These boys are Joyce's sons and some friends.

4:23 PM - Emily juggles potatoes for the adoring crowd.

7:00 - Guesthouse dinner! It's an ever-changing crowd, and odds are good we're eating a curry.

8:00 - E! is the only channel our satellite dish reliably gets...fortunately Julep loves watching Denise Richards' new reality show and reading Us magazine.
