Today was another simple relaxing day. Sammy joined back up with our group after accompanying the NC group to the airport for the past couple days. We were all very excited to have him back with us. Today was going to be our chalkboard painting day for the classrooms. Since the stores were not open by the time we heed to school, Sammy promised to buy the paint and meet us at school. Unfortunately there was a slight miscommunication and he did not arrive at school until 12:30. But this gave us time to plan, wash the boards again, and play with our younger friends once they were let out for the day.
Once Sammy joined us with paint we began painting. The teachers had asked if we would paint the alphabet in standards 1-4 and the numbers in 1-2. We tackled these today because it took some time to get the letters outline so we could paint over the pencil marks. We used blue, red, yellow, and green. These colors REALLY popped in all the classrooms and looked great when we were done. As always we had kiddos hanging out watching us and talking to us.

Once we got back to Zomba we took a quick tour of the "indoor" market that the locals shop at. We had been warned that it was slightly overwhelming because there was so much in such a small space. Going in I was slightly concerned about getting overwhelmed by it all, but it was a lot better than I thought it would be. It was a good thing we had Sammy leading the way, but it was actually really cool to see how it was organized and everything everyone had to sell.

We settled back in at Annie's for a quiet night and dinner with friends.
