The drive down was similar to the life of a sardine, five people and a lot of luggage caused our carry-on’s to be lap-ons during the drive. However, the time at the game lodge that is the only building inside of a game park was very relaxing and the food was good. We […]

Today it rained here in Zambia. I’ve almost been here three months and on none of those days was there a drop of rain, nor was there many clouds as well. As the wet season approaches there will be a few more scattered showers but Octobor for the most part will be devoid […]

It’s been four days since my last confession and there is a pretty solid reason behind it. Days here have become ordinary and don’t inspire any kind of thoughts that lead me to the computer. In a lot of ways, I’m counting down now. Even though, I’ve been enjoying myself. Days […]

Forgive me if I’ve spelled their last name wrong, but Dr. Zeiss and Mrs. Zeiss were a blessing. Dr. Ray Zeiss came RIGHT during the week that the McAdams were gone, so even though the doctor was gone there was another doctor doing what he could. However, he is such a humble and […]

In this short hour I have until the internet is gone I have the task of writing an entry that takes in all the days since the long walk. I will do my best.
