Brian called me on my phone the other day to tell me to send the kids over to his office - he wanted to show them something. He is still using the office which is behind our old house, until the office which is attached to our new house is done. I gladly sent them running over, because that meant I could have a few extra minutes, maybe even half an hour, to get some packing done for our holiday.
The pictures are unbelievable, but I assure you they have not been edited in anyway. You could eat these guys for a main course, for those of you who ever order escargot! They are called African Giant Snails and we have seen a few since the rainy season started.

That is crazy!!! Will you save a shell for Danny if you see one? We need another Malawian conversation piece to add to our collection! (Did Bradley try to eat it?).
EEEEEEEEEWWWWWWW!
Wow that is crazy. I googled them and found this page with some interesting facts. Apparently you can keep them as pets and they'll live up to 5-10 years. They are illegal in the US so make sure Dan is smuggling home any live ones Laura.
