On my way to Ludzin Parish

Alright yesterday, I was able to find a driver who would be able to drive me to Ludzi Parish, near the Zambian border town Chipata about 1.5 hours from Lilongwe. yea!!!! It will cost about $35 to bring me there and $35 to bring me back to lilongwe.

Some of you may be wondering why I am trying to arrange a driver instead of taking public transport? Well when I was planning the plan was for me to go to Chitedze Agricultural Research Station, which is a Malawian run farm that supposedly has some great farming practices. It is on the way to Ludzi, but you need private transport to get there. So I will spend some time visiting Chitedze Agricultural Research Station, before heading to Ludzi Parish.

It is at Ludzi parish that i will finally be able to start working at a clinic. I will be there till Monday (July 6th) before driving back to Lilongwe to spend the night.

I have spoken to Chikondi and June in Monkey Bay. Chikondi is a student that my family has been sponsoring to attend college here in Malawi. June is a 75 year old British expat whom lives in Monkey Bay and we become good friends while I was working there as a Peace Corps volunteer.

Well I have to get going.

Yendani Bwino! (translation: "go well")
