Weekends here are fabulous. I love turning off the alarm on my phone and not having to leave Zach alone with annoying little Bay all day. The weather is constantly pleasant and the sheets my big sister mailed me are oh-so-soft and perfect for sleeping in on a Saturday morning.
On Friday night we ate delicious home-made Chinese food with a friend who is a VSO volunteer who Zach plays soccer with. (Zach is finally back to playing soccer after 3 months on the mend after that unfortunate ankle sprain.) On Saturday Zach played soccer while I had a leisurely lunch with some coworkers and friends at one of the nicer restaurants in town. My lamb burger was great - but it cost US$10. Eish. Then I got a manicure (Also $10) and went to the market to buy cloth to have a dress made. Zach and I spent last night and this morning working on his resume and thinking about the next steps after we finish in Malawi in July. Tonight we're headed to the birthday party of another friend, the only pediatric cardiologist in the country, at a nice Italian restaurant. Sprinkled throughout the weekend are the sounds of Zach laughing out loud. Very loud. He's reading 'Spud' but some South African Afrikaans writer and appears to be loving it.
You would not believe the difference between being a Peace Corps Volunteer and living in the capital city with your boyfriend, your dog, and your car. Life is bougie.
what are some of the options of 'what to do after you finish in malawi in july'? inquiring readers want to know!
