<= This is the current 'hangar'.
<= Here is where we're staying, the Guesthouse. Still too chilly to use the pool.
<= These are the local kids Sally Green (UK) has been working with. She's a former Phy Ed. teacher and has done an incredible job reaching out to the community. Here, she was doing 'warm up' & 'team building' exercises before their football (i.e. soccer) scrimmage. Chaos at it's most beautiful and entertaining finest!
Good morning! Yesterday Gabrielle showed us the shopping areas around town which allowed us to get a feel for how expensive things are and what type of products are available. It is surprising how similar everything is to back home. There are two "malls" in Lusaka - best described as an "upscale" one and a "regular" one - Manda Hill is the regular one that we visited. It is a strip mall, with many stores and a few restaurants. The anchor stores are Game - the African version of Wal-Mart, and Shoprite - a grocery store. The other smaller stores being cell phone outlets (of course - they seem to be everywhere!), satellite tv, furniture, shoes, clothes, etc...
Almost everything we could think of was available. The price of things just depends on how expensive it is to get it here. Everyone jokes about Wal-Mart being "China-Mart". Believe me, we get the good China items back home!
Tonight, we'll be going to Lusaka Praise, a praise and worship concert put on by a couple of churches - at least I think that's what it is. We'll see. Until next time - Adam & Carrie
