On This Day Last Year...
I met Ollie and Ruth on the Liemba on Lake Tanganyika and we got on like a house fire so we traveled down through Malawi together. Spending time with them was a fabulous break from traveling alone. We sampled the local alcohol, Shake-Shake, which was about like stomach bile in a milk carton; we rode countless miles on packed buses drinking the local gin.; and we washed our clothes in Lake Malawi. Nothing like two Brits to make the way a bit easier.They had met years ago while traveling and found that the relationship worked best when they were on the road. They would be home for a while and start to get at one another, then one of them would say, Hey, Let's go travel again. In them, I have a very good reason to visit London.

Did you climb the ladder at Heaven Bound Funeral Parlor? I bet it's magic.
No climbing, I felt my closeness to God was sufficient for the middle of Malawi, but I did stand and watch them a long time. Of course I had gone to Africa anticipating to find a very strong Christian community, but I still found the prevalence of God in ordinary life, in markets, on clothes, in the approach to daily struggles to be phemonenal. God was easing pain and explaining the inexplicable.
