The Simama Hotel is the tallest building in the capital city of Lilongwe, Malawi. It is four stories high and has an elevator. I took two of my friends on the elevator for the first time. Neither had ever been in the hotel. To them, this hotel is very expensive. To us, $50 a night with breakfast included is a bargain.
I’m not sure who the TV weather guy was, which city he served or exactly what he said, but if his observation passed down through the ages is even close to accurate, it still has wide application today.

Sunset on the Shire River in southern Malawi is a quick event. Less than 15 minutes takes the sun down to a pinkish orange ball and then under. We had to leave the shore of the river to get out of Liwonde National Park before the 6 p.m. closure. We left the shore at 5:20 when the sun was almost in behind the low mountains to the west. The main gate was about 10 kilometers away and should have been reached by 5:45. Our guide needed to get home, we needed to get to the lodge where we were staying.
As I gaze upon age 80 on the horizon, I find myself in an odd position… reinventing myself.
We have been to Malawi seven times in the last 18 years. There have been many changes in the environment, mainly a slow crawl towards the modern world.
