Today we were on a mission to finish all the painting at the school! We had conquered a majority of the alphabets yesterday, so today we were determined to finish the rest of the alphabets and paint all the chalkboards! We slowly went to one classroom at a time as the kids started getting out of school. We did this for awhile, and then we realized that school basically let out for everyone. Half the group went around and finished all the chalkboards, while the other half went and finished the alphabets. We worked really well as a team and got the job done in no time. We were really happy with the outcome and are hoping the teachers will feel the same way when they see the final project tomorrow! We had a little time after all the painting was done and there were still several kids wondering about, so we, of course, started playing and talking with them! Unfortunately, our bus came a little later and we had to go. We said goodbye to the kids and for the last time we said "see you tomorrow". We have really come to bond with a majority of these kids and love every second we get to spend with them!
After school we went to town to pick up some necessities and do some last minute souvenir shopping at "The Wall". We went back to the lodge to pack some things up and clean up for dinner. We decided to try a little Italian restaurant, named Casa Rossa, up the hill from our lodge to celebrate one of our last nights in Zomba. Dinner was delicious and so much fun! Everyone gets along great with each other so there never is a dull moment in conversation! Everyone was laughing and having a great time riding back on the bus when all of a sudden we saw a group of people chopping at something on the side of the road. We all jumped from our seats to see what was happening and there was a GINORMOUS crocodile laying there (dead of course)! The people were sawing off legs, bones, meat, etc. We stopped the bus for a minute and jumped off to see the animal up close and personal. Everyone around the crocodile was very nice and let us take some pictures as well! Basically we were all in shock but it seemed normal to everyone else around us! It was definitely not how we thought the night was going to end, but it was quite an adventure! So overall today was an interesting and great day☺️
