Road trip on Saturday to Lake Malawai.--3rd largest lake in Africa-dont know the first two. Saw lots of goat herds and Brahma cattle(big hump behind head)--enjoyed it. These are used for meat and for draught purposes.
Great sceneary--Just going to do some stream of observation and thought today. Prominent businesses are Battery charging services(areas not on grid) and Cuomo Microfinance. 30% plus interest loans.
Maize Harvest starting-done by hand-sold along the road. Lots of community mkt activity. We visited a Malawian version of Pottery Barn. Nice stuff. Lots of wood carving activity also.
FACTOID OF THE DAY-Learned why drums are really used in Africa-----why?? to cover up the screams of 7 year old boys undergoing circumcism(sp). Learned this at the Mua cultural center and I think it is understandable.
Maize along the roadsides just like the midwest.
That's a pleasant factoid to know!
