Go to an island in Lake Malawi? Yes please.

So for the 28th birthday of yours truly, we went to the best place ever place - an island in Lake Malawi that seriously rules.  I took a lot of photos because really, no words for this amazing place.  Not even the photos do it justice though...  

Read: Come and visit Andrew and Emily.  Do it.

A high tech solution for explanation - here's our trip:

So we took off Saturday from Lilongwe for the romantical weekend.  Hit a bit of traffic and thought you'd like to see it (also better in person):

But we took a really nice route over an escarpment - I took some more photos for you: 



Once we got to Cape Maclear, we had some soda (because we drink A LOT of soda in Malawi) and kayaked 10K to the island.  It took over an hour but well worth it when we saw this:

Just a short time later, Andrew did this:

And here are some photos of our room and its sweet arse views of the water:



Did you see the fish in this last one?  Yeah, we swam with them everyday.  And got horribly sun burned.

During the evening we hiked up to a rock overlooking the water and took these photos for love:



You're welcome for those.  

Obviously, this trip falls into the wicked fun category.

Also obvious, RIGHT ON OBAMA!

Word.

Followed your link on Facebook and discovered your blog. You and Andrew are too cute. Ridiculous. Jorge and I were once cute too. Then we got married.

BTW, I got me a fancy-pants bloggy-blog too. http://gwynethsadventures.blogspot.com.

hmmmm, i find gwyneth's comment funny because during our long drought of communication {when you weren't receiving my emails}, i tried to find you on facebook. i found many emily hugheses, but none of them were you... unless i couldn't tell because - maybe your facebook picture is one of those "grooooossssss" love pictures?

anyhoo we can just continue this blog-love relationship and ditch gmail.

i'll tell you the secrets of the freezer-paper stencils soon. once you start, you can't stop!

and ps i can't wait to meet andrew, because it looks like you guys have a serious good time together.

pps. OBAMA!

ppps. OBALL!!
