Start of Summer

I think summer is officially starting. I wore my strapless dress I had made (of course I wore a top over it to keep modest).

I’ve finished organizing the laboratory!

Thanks to help from Ian and some of my students, it’s looking pretty sharp.

Now I’m working to get some $$ to buy sodium hydroxide to neutralize all the dangerous acids we have (think fuming hydrochloric acid, sulphuric acid, etc)

We had a good bye party for Alfred who takes care of the Peace Corps transit house in Mzuzu.

It was nice to have his family over for an American meal of pasta, salad, and desserts.

… and garlic bread.

Back at site for term 3! All my friends visiting the summer hut. (Notice the curtains?)

Thanks a million for all of your packages, especially Dad and Bonnie. I’m now well supplied with hand sanitizer and Kleenex.
