Last Two Days in Zambia

Tuesday - Milt and I spent our final day in the project area tying up loose ends and saying farewells with final visits to pastor, headman, clinic and school. Late in the afternoon we saw the first sheets of corrugated iron being put up for the roof of the new houses so it was again good to see progress there. On Tony's insistence we ended our stay the same way as we had begun it with a delicious dinner of Zambian steak and vegetables. Alberta produces good beef but Zambian beef is as good !

Wednesday - late morning, after final farewells to people on the farm, Tony drove Milt and I to Lusaka. After a late lunch and a final visit to The Lowdown to check e-mail and say farewell to Heather and Mark we checked into a guest house that had been recommended by another traveler that we met. Very spartan but clean and cheap so suited us fine. We went for a walk in the neighborhood to get some exercise and check out somewhere to eat later. Harley and Logan arrived back from Livingstone at 7:00 pm and all walked down to a local mall for supper where they told us all about their exciting trip. We were up quite a late as we spent time afterwards downloading and looking at a bunch of photos and reminiscing about the experience we'd just had in Africa.

One of the highlights of their trip - Logan and Harley got to "meet" a large crocodile at the croc farm in Livingstone !
