Our second stop in Malawi was Liwonde. Located on the Shire River, Liwonde has great mountain and river views and lots of hippos. I spent a few days here before heading to the lake shore, and then again at the end of my trip as a place to unwind before going home. A former Peace Corps volunteer named Tim lives in Liwonde and was kind enough to let us stay at his house. When we first arrived, he lived in a house with a Peace Corps volunteer, but then decided to move to a bigger house right on the river. I had the pleasure of being able to stay at both houses. Liwonde was extremely relaxing and beautiful. I loved sitting by the river and listening to the hippos grunt! Before heading to the lake for 4th of July there was a big blow out at Tim's house with some other Peace Corps volunteers. We also hit up the market in Liwonde and scored some good deals.
