We arrived in Lusaka, Zambia after leaving Dar es Salaam very early Thursday morning. We flew through Jo'burg as Zambia Air is bankrupt and we could not fly direct. After a long day we were met at the airport by Sarah & her new husband Alvin. After travelling for 2 month, it was nice to see a familiar face. We spent the next 4 days doing regular Zambia/Sarah things. Sarah cooked us a traditional Zambian dinner complete with nashima?? (maize porridge) and lots of wine. Dinner was delicious and it was nice to have some home cooking. The chicken balony sandwich we had the day before was also a highlight. Do you get the idea we are travelling on our stomachs.

We shopped for material with Sarah, watched a basketball practice and went to a couple of games. Alvin coaches the national level womens' team and it was fun to sit in the stands and watch the games. After the games we had chinese food which was as good as anything we have eaten before.

Sunday we went to the botanical gardens outside of Lusaka, had a picnic lunch and just hung out. A wonderful visit. Alvin and Sarah were great hosts and we enjoyed our visit. Thank you again guys, we will see you in June.
