Zambia style

We're here! Actually we've been here since Tuesday, but unfortunately our bags have not arrived yet! Today was supposed to be the day, but yet again British Airways failed us, well actually Nancy was lucky and her bags did arrive, so it looks like we might not all freeze again. We are staying at Chachacha backpackers in a little 3 person cabin sort of thing. It's nice to have our own space. We have been to the hospice and daycare a few times now. We spent the whole day there on Friday. We spent some time going over each patient and then played outside with the children for a while. We also had our first experience of real Zambian food - Shima. It's made of ground up maize and tastes to me like white rice in the form of mashed potatoes. It was interesting and will be our lunch each day at the hospice. We have done some exploring around Lusaka as well and are beginning to get acquainted. Things are great and hopefully I'll be in touch again soon. The internet at home is such a luxury!
