We have been in Zambia for 3-4 days and I think the people here are super nice. Mark and I went on a mountain bike tour of Livingstone and some local villages. This experience has been the best so far. The children would run up to us yelling "Mzungu" which means white people. I danced with an old lady and touched one ladies baby all because they believe white people heal. Our guide is an amazing community leader and all the profits of this tour go to continue funding the village school. This guide was so inspirational when I get a job in the USA I will send him money. We also took a tour of a market and ate strange African foods, such as the mopane worms and chunks of white flaky baobab fruit. They were ok. I did pass on eating rocks, which pregnant women do for the minerals.

Today we went white water rafting on the Zambezi river, great rapids and a great time. It is the start of fall and all the leaves are changing colors to yellow and orange, it is beautiful. I am having a blast. Internet is so expensive and so rare to find, so I must type very fast, I apologize for all the spelling mistakes and quick writing. I hope all is doing well. I will write again when I have time.

I am off to spend a few more days of Zambia and then Malawi.
