Me and Claire.
Precious, 7 yrs old. He is Mohamed's older son, and so so sweet. He is in 1st grade and speaks perfect English. I think he is going to be a professional soccer player some day (or the president).
Kelvin, 2 yrs old. Mohamed and Matilda's younger son. A roley-poley toddler, who laughs and squeals and jumps up and down every day when I come home. He can't figure out if he loves or is terrified of Claire (the dog).
Sarah, my Canadian roomate (who is 6 foot 1) and the boys, who are not freakishly tall - they are standing on a wall.

A view of Sapitwa Peak (translation = "don't go there"), Mount Mulanje. I went there, and it was great! 3,000 meters (almost 10,000 feet), straight up. There are huts on the top with sleeping pads, a wood fireplace, and cooking utensils. And a hut keeper that makes your fire, heats up water for bathing, and washes the dishes. Oh, and beer you can buy, so you (or the porters) don't have to lug it up the mountain. Best camping ever.
Our fearless porters who carried all our stuff up Mount Mulanje.

Beautiful woods at the base of Mulanje.

What a crazy job that must be-- keeping hut. How do the hut keepers get the beer up there to sell? I LOVE the photos, Rach. So great to get a picture of your life and the amazing terrain and peeps.
