We went shopping at the market with Michael. Because of Zomba's location, you can buy all kinds of local fruit and vegetables, including these small and very seedy -- but very tasty -- clementines. Schools were between terms, but this headmaster was glad to show us around his school. The blackboard still has the term finals for the Grade 8 students in English. Michael and I went golfing! There is a very nice 9-hole course in Zomba. The "greens" are the same reddish brown soil that you see everywhere and putts ran ve-e-ery slowly. The flags were plastic bags on a stick. We also bought some art, including the Noah's Ark carving shown on Michael's coffee table. Some artists anxious to make a sale showed up at 7 am on the first morning after we arrived, though we didn't get up until 9 am being quite tired after more than 2 days of travel.
