July 18 - Sunday with Danielle

Today has been a lovely Sunday!  I woke up really early for some reason, and just laid in my bed listening to worship music on my iPod for a couple of hours.  It was wonderful!  Then I finally got up, even though I didn't really want to, made breakfast, and did some laundry before church. Jenna, Annie, and I went to Flood Church again and met Danielle there.  The church had Fantas for everyone - kind of like how my church has coffee for everyone, but not. :)

After church, Danielle and I went to get lunch and go shopping while Jenna and Annie went to Crossroads to do shopping and hang out at the hotel.  Danielle and I went to a little Italian bistro in town and I got an amazing tomato/mozzerella/pesto panini and divine coffee and tiramisu gelato. Oh gosh, it was so good.

We walked through the vegetable market, across a rickety, K10 toll bridge, and through the clothing market on our way to the chitenje market. We each bought four chitenjes. :) I think I now have enough to do all of the sewing I want to do when I get home.

We then went to the woodcarvers market for Danielle to buy some gifts.  I am losing patience with that place.  The stuff is really cool, but fending off the sellers is exhausting. I can't wait to go back home and shop in peace!

We walked back to the crisis nursery and hung out there for awhile. Danielle had to give some medicine to the newest baby, a four day old baby girl named Mayonkho (my-on-ko.)  Maria-boy has been renamed Matteo, and Wanangwa is healthy. :) I cuddled Misheck for awhile. He is so cute! I think he's teething, because he kept trying to gnaw on everything - my shoulder, my cheek, my thumb - good times, good times. :)

We came back this evening to Gerda preparing a huge stack of Dutch pancakes. They are kind of like crepes and soooo delicious. I ate five. :)
