Looking back .....

Some memories of our time in Zambia that we'll take with us:

1. Being wakened at night by Kristi because "there's a monkey in our room"
2. Learning to live with perma-dirty feet and finger nails
3. Getting used to the red dust and grit in our mouths and eyes
4. Traversing the Mushili Road each day, avoiding pot holes and playing chicken with other vehicles doing the same thing
5. Never getting tired of the beautiful sunsets
6. Night skies with stars that are so amazing they defy description
7. Little ones climbing up for hugs and wanting to sit on your lap or hold hands, just wanting any sort of physical touch or comfort
8. Enjoying loads of laughter with the management team at Isubilo during our time together
9. The effortless singing and beautiful harmonies
10. Learning how to spot signs of malnutrition in a child
11. Handing out "sweeties" to the kids and feeling like the Pied Piper when we visited Orphan Street
12. NOT having to ride on a mini-bus ..... phew! got out of that one Kristi! Maybe next year!!!
