Finding the Cave Drawings

          For a number of years we heard and read about the little people of Africa. Some called them the sand people, others the pygmies, and still others simply the little ones. We were told some settled in the land that is now called Malawi. After hearing there was evidence of their existence in the caves near Dedza Mountain we determined to see for ourselves. Suzi and I, along with our son Jason, made the trip to Dedza and stopped at a remote school. We asked the teacher if he could help us find the little people, or at least evidence they had lived in this area. He dismissed school for the day, and along with two of his students, we started up the mountain. There were no markings and we thought that strange, if in fact, such a historic find was nearby. We didn't question him. We just kept on climbing. Finally, we made our way around a sharp cleft of rock and stepped into an unmarked cave. What we found will surprise you. We have posted the story on the Malawi Travel blog, along with the pictures.
