Don't Worry, It's Just a Flesh Wound

We realized that our only chance to go to Lake Malawi was this Saturday so we woke up, got all packed and left that same morning. And it was BEAUTIFUL. Lake Tahoe's still better, but this was absolutely amazing! It's like the ocean, only warmer and fresher. We ate by the shore and then hoped in for a swim. JP and I saw some rocks that we could jump off into the water so we walked down over to them. We climbed through the rocks by the shore--it was just like all the creek hiking back home, so good--and then jumped off our target spot. On the way back through the rocks, something went wrong and I slammed my head into a rock and blacked out for a second. I put my hand on my head and blood was everywhere and I had a fat bump above my eye. It took awhile to wash off the blood and then we went for some first aid (some alcohol wipes and a wrap was all they had haha). Don't worry mom, no stiches neccessary on this one. But I will have a nice scar to bring back with me! And when I have kids, I can tell them I got it in Africa fending off the wild crocodiles trying to attack the team :)
