So the beginning of this week was spent at the Msosa campsite. It was so relaxing and just wonderful! We were able to swim in the river nearby which was divine (and brown but that's more fun). Tuesday we went on a long hike up to a waterfall (only about ten foot). It was a great place to swim, relax and eat lunch. The hike was also great exercise. This was probably the most restful trip yet. We also got s'mores! Oh how I'd been craving a toasted marshmallow!
Around the fire at night we began sharing our bio projects. We had to observe an animal, choose a behavior, come up with a hypothesis for it and then create an experiment. They were fun to hear. Around our site were lots of monkeys. They were quite interested in our food! Campsites in Africa are slightly more wild than in the states. Let's just say leaving your tent at night could end poorly :)
Well Sunday we leave for village homestay! I'm a little nervous but I'm hoping for the best. I've heard it's a long drive (8 or so hours). I am doing mine with Megan Earl so that should be fun :) Say some prayers for us. Right after eight nights there we will head to a resort at Lake Malawi! This semester will be over before I know it! Love and miss you all :)
