Hiding out - hunkering down!

March 17th 2020
We needed this - we finally found it...we are here and still in Malawi in Monkey Bay. Another dirty, poor begging village, but the little Monkey Bay Resort in the midst of abandoned houses - in the midst of a Chinese Army base (take that in!) - in an oasis of a few humans of mixed color. A sane “island” by a little beach with playing, laughing children, a beautiful voluptuous cook without a care in the world (just focused on the right food and the warmest, biggest smile). An owner to negotiate a price for a indefinite time for a clean room full of character and peace. A new mattress to support our weary bodies and ease our minds into a restful sleep every night.
The lake is clean and the temperatures so comfortable it allows swimming for hours - a sunken ship not far from the shore inspires us to create a world of stories to share with strangers who become friends.
I thank the universe for this piece of earth right now with the monkeys in the morning and people that care.
