Lake of Stars

I think I have PLoSD - kind of like PTSD, but instead it's post-Lake of Stars Depression. Lake of Stars is a three-day long music festival on the shores of Lake Malawi, one of the biggest lakes in Africa. Just like the Great Lakes, its waters stretch far across giving the illusion of oceanfront property, despite its central African location. Hosted every year in October, the festival features a mixture of well-known and not-so-well-known local or African artists and others from the UK too (it's co-sponsored by some Brits, I'm not sure if it's a British organization or the British government...).

Anddddddd that's about as far as I got on my blog about Lake of Stars. Pathetic, I know. Last week was crazy though; since we got home on Tuesday from LoS, we had a three day workweek and about a million and four things to do. Monday was a holiday so we didn't have work and everything was closed, and then I left on Tuesday the 26th for the refugee camp and only got back tonight (the 31st). So instead of writing a nice long, well-packaged and pretty blog, I'm going to save that for writing about Mayukwayukwa and just summarize by saying Lake of Stars was awesome, we camped on the beach, listened to music, swam and partied for three days straight. Maybe it's better if I don't go into details about it anyway. My mother DOES read this...Hi mom. No, no, I'm kidding, it wasn't anything all that debaucherous, but like I said, long blogpost to come...
