in lusaka

went white water rafting with maura along the zambezi river yesterday...what an adventure! we were the only 2 on our boat to have gotten so wiped out during one of the gnarly rapids that my shoe fell off (but later got found by the safety kayaker, thank god, because otherwise i would have had to trek all the way up the gorge, which is practically vertical, with one shoe) and i ended up stuck underneath the boat for about a minute and ended up getting pulled into someone else's boat. maura had to get saved by the safety guy on the kayak. the zambezi rapids are the downward rapids coming from the victoria falls so the current is pretty strong.

i have moved onward from livingstone to lusaka this morning and finally had a normal shower at renee's compound. since africa is so freaking dusty, i do not think i have had clean feet since i got here. i am leaving on my 24 hr bus ride to dar es salaam, tanzania this afternoon to stay with my aunt and uncle. pray that the bus actually leaves ontime for a change. i should be heading to the serengeti on the 11th.

apparently, my pics never showed up from my previous post--i apologize...the computer keeps freezing during the upload. i will try to put some pics on flickr when i get to dar tomorrow night.

peace out.
