Hopefully later I will be able to share a few stories, but for now please enjoy some pictures!
These roadside stands are everywhere in Zambia; this one is very nice. The white bag in front contains mealie-meal, which is used to make nshima.
Fresh avocados are unlike anything found in a supermarket!
We met these rescued elephants at an orphanage just south of Lusaka. Poaching is still a very serious problem here--just a few days ago, over 80 elephants were killed by poachers--so many baby elephants are left without parents. One of these little (um, comparatively little) guys was rescued after falling into a swimming pool!
I'm a little bit tall. Also these birds are ginormous.
They live here.
I made friends with a zebra...
...and an ostrich.
This is beautiful David, a child of one of the widows at Chikumbuso. He was making silly faces at the camera, and when he looked at the pictures, he'd crinkle his nose and laugh so much he stuck out his tongue. When you wave at him he just erupts into a smile, and he loves dancing along with music!
Thank you so much for visiting! I hope you'll come back soon for stories.
