HIFA

after being back in Lilongwe for about 24 hours (which included seeing my study being finished--woohoo) Ben and I were off to Harare for the Harare International Festival of Arts (HIFA). We were so impressed with both the parts of Harare we saw and the festival. HIFA was very well organized with a wide variety of performances including theatre, dance, poetry, music, fashion, and fine arts. We stayed at the crowne plaza right where the main venue was at the Harare gardens so it was nice and easy to get around. We had some good meals out too! as well as in the gardens!
