Independence Day

Last night we ate dinner at Huts, an amazing Indian restaurant, with Don, Mary, Dr. Meguid, Grace Ngaunje (the Minister of Health's daughter), and Grace's friend Oliver. It was Grace's 25th birthday. And Oliver's birthday is Saturday, which is 07-07-07!

Adam and I realized that we were in the minority--at one point, the owners of the place were chatting with our table, so there were two Malawians, one European/Egyptian, two Indians, then the four Americans. It was nice:).

We moved out of the hostel this morning and will stay at Luzu's for at least a little bit, if not for the long haul.

We discussed potential volunteering opportunities at Bwaila Hospital, where Dr. Meguid works as an OB/GYN. He will check with the Matron there and will get back to us. We mostly hope that Adam can help there, and if I can help out with the babies, I will be grateul for that chance. The Babycatching blog is written by someone who worked at Bwaila Hospital.

Happy 4th of July, all you Americans. We are going to eat lunch with the Minister of Health and the American Ambassador today.
