Nkhata Bay (2)

We went back to Nkhata Bay a week later and worked a
few days with the team doing the baseline study on soil
degradation for AFSIS, the African Soil Information System.


Some days we were taking soil samples in the in
rice paddies in the valley seen here.



And some days we were up on the hills among the
rubber trees taking soil samples. You can see the
latex flowing into the collection cups on the tree trunks.


Last week, I took a working vacation to the south. My
housemate and I visited Liwonde national park, Zomba
mountain, and Mulanji mountain.

In Liwonde, we saw the same species of bird that I
photographed close
to my office. The guide said
that it was called a
red bishop.
