Hello everyone! Not only have we safely arrived in Livingstone, Zambia.........but we have finally found the internet! After a long journey overseas (17 hour flight plus a 17 hour layover on a COLD airport floor), we are refreshed and ready to start our medical projects next week. After we were acclimated to our surroundings we had our medical orientation from the very enthusiastic and knowledgeable Brave. On Friday we had a delicious dinner at the Art Cafe where we tried various foods, such as nshima, sweet potato greens and even goat. We then enjoyed a show which featured amazing drummers, singers and dancers. Some of us, including Dr. Morrison (the birthday girl) got the chance to dance with the performers. Yesterday morning the group went to Victoria Falls for a hike which was absolutely breathtaking. Betty and I even had a scary baboon encounter! In the afternoon, we searched high and low for internet access and ended up finding delicious pizza (and of course a few Savanna Drys) instead. The people of Livingstone, Zambia have been most welcoming and I am so grateful to be here. Hello to everyone back home, I miss you! In addition, Molly has requested I add the following "Hi Mom."
