Today we traveled over to Lake Malawi. It is so gorgeous here. We had an option of going to the croc farm and cichlid farm or to just hang out at the lake. I chose to stay at the lake so I could go on the catamaran. It was really fun to hang out and the lake is absolutely beautiful. You can see straight through it. It seemed like this was our vacation part of the trip. We did learn some things like how they fish all by nets and man power. They put out huge nets and then there are men on the beach that pull it in by backing up and running to the front once they get to the front of the beach. I could tell that people around there were a little better off because of the fishing industry there. There were also a lot more trees around the lake. I think it's because they had a reliance on the fishing industry so they didn't have to have such a heavy reliance on farming. Today was one of my favorite days because it was just time to hang out and relax. That's nice since I'm tired so often. The lady in charge of Cool Runnings is a very inspiring lady. She has some of the best stories to tell. She has led a life that a lot of people could easily be jealous of.
