A Few Highlights 7

Us 3 girls with our babies. :) They kept us warm all night long.
I brought glow-in-the-dark bracelets for the kids.
Look how happy. :)
Trying to carry water the Zambian way.

A Few Highlights 6

This is how Zambians carry their babies. I can't wait to carry my baby like this.
I love my chitenge. :)
My dear friend, Swazi and I
We wanted to get as close as possible to the giraffes. Check out how close Bonnie is here!
I have never really noticed how beautiful giraffes are until I was 25 feet away.

A Few Highlights 5

Me with one of the gorgeous giraffes. :)
I loved the plants and the trees in Zambia. Some of the tree trunks would be so thick; it would look like 10 trees merged together.
Me up in the tower we found at the Nsobe Game Park
The kids were SO excited to read the books I brought from the Abingdon Library. Although only 3 or 4 could read, they were eager to learn. I wish that I could have split myself into 27 different pieces in teach them each a little about reading.

Ketty & I in the taxi after school
Metting Angela & Gloria at their house in the compounds. Just seconds before their baby brother was screaming in terror because I, a white person, was frightening him. hahah
In the compounds; The children loved to follow us around.
A typical mud house in the compounds

A Few Highlights 3

heheh. These photos and videos just like it would make us crack up til we were crying.
How we entertain ourselves. :)
Trying to do a fish kiss. I love these girls SO much!
Mapalo & I
One of the most adventurous days I've ever had: antelope, zebras and giraffes only 25 feet in front of us as we walked in the bush of Africa.

A Few Highlights 2

My favorite part: following the giraffes. We got nearly 25 feet away from them.
I never realized how silly Bonnie could be. :)
Bonnie & I after climbing a tower.
Climbing into a tower we found
Our hands were SO swollen. We were trying to get the blood moving. heheh

A Few Highlights

Looking for some animals :) We decided walking the land, rather than riding a safari truck, would be best. We could go where trucks couldn't and the trucks were loud enough to scare the animals away
At the Nsobi Game Park
Trying to pick out my chitenge
Having fun
At the compounds; Children followed us around the whole time :)
