Lusaka Update

So we went to visit my future home in the Kalomo District in Southern.  It is awesome.  It is two rooms with an insaka a sweet ass bathing shelter and a nice toilet area.  I went to my zonal school met the teachers and observed a class.  I also had a pupil escort take me home on the first day and she did not have a bike so she sat on the back of my bike and we rode home.  I still cannot start a fire i had to use my nieghbors fire.  I made some spaghetti, fritters, eggs, and pancakes.  (not all together in separate meals).  I got lost on the second day going to school, so I had to tie ropes to trees to help me mark where I live.  I visited a clinic and another school which is about 10 km away from my house.  It was a pretty solid bike ride.  I also found a local carpentar to make me a four post bed, wardrobe closet, food shelf, and a coffee table.  I want to get a couch and two chairs for my sitting area.  I also hitched to Choma to walk around and find the provicnal house.  I also went shopping at DAPP got some new clothes.  I killed a pigeon and ate it.  I also got some letters from amazing people named Maria and Jill-do.  not gonna lie, I cried.  I also got a random package from my step-dad with about 100 hotel soaps and 4 shampoo bottles.  It actually will be handy for my hand washing station.  I love my house, my teachers, my schools, southern the language.  It was amazing.

  1. You are living such a differnt life from the life you lived when I was with you the last six months I was with you that I almost can't believe it. But believe I do. Wow, is all I can say. And cool. Simple, I know. But that's all you need.
