We're off!

We woke up at 4am Zambia time to catch our now 6:30am flight. It was originally at 9, but the president is coming to town, so the airport is closing at 7. Please pray we make it out! We will now have a long layover in Lusaka. Until the next Internet cafe....

We managed to eat pretty well while in Samfya. Jenny is an excellent southern cook and Melvin helped out a lot with breakfast.

The ride home from the resort... We had to drive thru the villages. All the children ran to the edge of the diet road to greet us. I felt like I was in a parade.


Dell ran back from the resort - about 11 kilometers.
