Back in the U.S.A

Me N Rob laying soakin in all the shisto
Linds enjoyin futball with the kids

Fanta break during the long hot hike to the waterfall


Lake Malawi and Livingstone Plateau



Probably where I got Shisto for real




Its been too long scince ive updated. Things have changed a lot! Im now back in the U.S. due to medical reasons. I contracted shistosomiasis (Bilharzia) from swimming in Lake Malawi. I developed a severe infection in my bladder, rectum, intestines, and cervix. I had to leave Malawi with only a few days notice. Now I have been back in the states since May 8th and have just been concentrating on getting back into good health. Now I am getting there and will perhaps go back to Malawi. The future is uncertain but I'm learning to live in the present and enjoy the good things offered at the time. For now, thats hangin with my sister and nephew, both of which I have not seen for more than 2 years. Im also enjoying cable t.v. way too much. Other perks of this life... hot showers, air conditioning, driving, good doctors, cleanliness, margarita's, cheese fries, mexican food, ice cream, movie theaters, gyms, pools and fast portable internet.
