Last of Lusaka

Africa is really great. I am busy as hell. They are working me like a dog out here but it keeps me (and my mind) busy so I am loving it. While traveling, I am scheduled to work most weekends, so I have very little free time. Hopefully at the end of the trip I will have some time to take a safari and see some things on my own. But Sunday I leave for rural Zambia for three weeks so I will be very out of touch. I will however get to see lots while I am out there. I will be in the Northern, Luapula and Western districts.

Thus far, Lusaka has been very nice. They seem to take pride in keeping the outlying areas very clean and nicely trimmed trees and lawns...I have to say I was a little surprised. Now what it will look like in the bush is anyone’s guess. The city itself is not pristine European standards, but it is a bustling African city and considered very developed and they seem to be very proud of their city, their country, their culture, their president and their languages (several languages are spoken around Zambia and over 70 dialects - English in the national language and unifies all the other languages).
