Hello! I've tried multiple times to upload photo's, but without success... so I thought I'd write a quick note and promise to upload pics once I'm back in the US next week!
We've had a busy last couple weeks with saying many goodbyes. The students baked various goodies to take with cards to the many places around Choma and Zimba where they had their clinical experiences. We also served a tea to the WHIZ staff and prepared a meal for the team who have been taking care of us at the guest house all these weeks. The many friendships we've developed will be the most valuable thing we take with us from our time here in Zambia!
Since Thursday evening, we've been here in Livingstone. Friday (yesterday) we visited the local game park - saw zebra, giraffe, buffalo, impala, bush buck, crocodile, monkeys, some stranded fish (after flooding the night before) and all kinds of birds! My favorites were the giraffe!!
We also visited Victoria Falls. Stunning!! This was definitely the moment where I missed my time in Zimbabwe the most - the river is much deeper on the Zim side and so in the present dryer season, there is not much water on the Zambia side. Amazing, regardless... and a tad intimidating for those with any fear of heights!!! BUT we didn't get soaked by the mist like we could see happening on the Zim side. It was really neat to be back there again!! God gave us sunshine between the clouds and we got to see the rainbows in the mist at the bottom of the falls!! Cool pics:)!!!
We have a few more things on our schedule with some down time as well. Our flight home will start Monday. I'm looking forward to being with family in Indiana for Thanksgiving!!! Where will you be for Thanksgiving?? Any good traditions you'll be upholding??

Lisa, I've been following your posts all semester, and it sounds like a wonderful time was had by all. I pray your trip home is smooth.
We'll be here in Manchester for Thanksgiving. I don't know if it's quite a tradition yet, but for the second year in a row, a handful of us American students are putting on a huge Thanksgiving dinner for the campus residents and friends. It's quite funny when there are 40 people at Thanksgiving and only 1/4 of them are Americans. :)
