I am home in Brooklyn now and happy to be here, though sad without my travel buddy. I loaded all the photos from my phone today and had so much fun looking over everything. It is pretty amazing to think that a month ago Elena and I were in Malawi! I will slowly post some of my other photographs from the trip, but found these two on my phone and thought they were worth sharing today - and they remind of all the fun we had. 

On our drive back to Lilongwe (the last day of our time in Malawi) we saw many people selling sugar cane on the side of the road. Elena suggested we buy some to see what it was like (all those people with blackened teeth didn't deter her). We did not think about the logistics of buying a five foot piece of sugar cane and eating it in a moving car. Since Elena was driving it was up to me to break it into smaller pieces. I managed to break it into smaller-ish pieces, but not small enough to make things easy. I thought the moment deserved commemorating. Here are some pictures of us trying to eat sugar cane in the car.
