The visitors from Indiana climbed Mount Mulanje today. The top picture is what the mountain looks like from land, the second picture was taken by a NASA space shuttle. You can click on the picture to enlarge it. According to NASA, Mount Mulanje is a granite inselberg in southern Malawi, Africa. At 3,000 meters (9,824 feet) high, it is one of the largest inselbergs in the world as well as the tallest peak in south-central Africa. Inselbergs are isolated stands of hard igneous rock which have been left standing isolated on level plains, formed because their rock mass resisted erosion while the plains around them did not. To see the website where I found the information click here. Could you imagine climbing this mountain in flip flops!?!
Other news: The caregiver Dorothy was scheduled to be released from the hospital this afternoon. Thandie wasn't sure what her diagnosis was, but doesn't this it was TB as that would have meant a longer hospital stay.The rest of the staff and children are healthy and doing well.
