Sunday June 18

Moni (hello) everybody! Today we traveled from Blantyre to Zomba, where we will spend the next two weeks. Once we arrived to Annie's Lodge, we dropped off our luggage in our rooms, and while waiting for everyone to get settled in their rooms, some of us walked outside and were greeted by monkeys (my favorite animals, so yes, tears were involved). After everyone was ready, we headed downtown for a late lunch at Tasty Bites where we waited a little over two hours for our food; therefore, I'm unable to tell you if the food was actually delicious or it was extra delicious because we were all so hungry after a long day of traveling!!
Once we finished our meal, we walked around downtown more to learn the location of nearby grocery stores for future trips we will be taking to and from during the next few days. While downtown we also window shopped at a little market on the way, not doing our souvenir shopping quite yet. A couple hours later we arrived back to the lodge, started and finished unpacking and gathered all of our school supplies to see what we have, and wow, do we have quite the amount! Tomorrow marks day one at Malemia Primary School where we will have orientation and get introduced to the students and teachers! We're all very excited! Stay tuned for the next blog tomorrow on how our first day went!
Until next time,
Nina
