Lunch Lake Malawi Africa

There’s a story here. This is another one of those occasions when I hired a local to take me around and show me some sites. I paid one guy $4 one day to show me around for an hour and the next day I paid another guy $6 for a two hour tour. The $6 tour was the best. We went and saw the fishing village that was located on the beach and spent some time with the fisherman as they brought their catch in that morning. There were hundreds of people at the beach waiting on the locals to return, one dugout canoe at a time. We bought some of the fish they caught and took it to the guide’s house and had lunch with his family. The lunch included some of the fish and cassava , a local plant that is a staple of the diet for those living around the lake. I thought it was all pretty interesting, even the sand in the cassava which caused me to curtail my consumption of the root. Oh, and did I mention the hundreds of little kids who followed me all over the island wanting to hold my hand? This is one time in my life when I was really glad I had my sanitizer with me.
