One of many markets we passed on our way to Blantyre

The Bowlers two chickens.

The Bowlers home being guarded by Sammy the Lion Dog

Sammy is still guarding the home... He could eat me if he wanted to.
But it's all good. We are friends.

We passed several mountains and hills on our way. The landscape is diverse.
It changes from large flat plains to loads of these tall guys

Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre

Hand painted, hand made tiles from a nationally famous shop on the rode to Blantyre

Kathy was showing me a mug with animal face up front and butt behind.
I'm so glad I'm not left handed, or else that would be my view during coffee every morning

These majestic giants are ancient and grow very near to water.
They grow only one meter in circumference every 100 years. This one is ancient!

First meal in Malawi with the Bowler family and friends

Saturday morning devotions

They paint almost all of their advertising here. It's incredible how identical
these rock painted signs look compared to one another

Fields freshly cleared in preparation for the rains

This is Mager, our welder. He manufactures all of our wheel chairs and walking frames.
 He is also responsible for the steel gate behind him. He is an incredible craftsman!

This is a very small portion of a 2,500kg shipment of porridge we receive every two weeks
 for the food nutrition program at COBT

COBT's outreach bike. Roderick uses this to get to many of our outreach programs that are often farther away than you think they would be and through tough roads. A dirt bike like this is a God send

COBT staff taking our 11am porridge break

Even in Malawi they are trying to save those seals from their clubbing

This is Hoove. He is one of four doggies living with me

This little trouble maker is Kassidie... this guy loves to play catch with large rocks and bricks. I kid you not!

Reading at home in the lounge aka living room

My African living room

They are hard to spot, but several African chickadees have taken up residence in these bushes next to the window of the lounge
