Dirt roads, dusty air and gorgeous tomato red sunsets. Everywhere people are walking, often barefoot or in flip-flops. Every mode of transportation – from bicycles to cars, vans or buses, shuttling goods, from building materials to sacks of maize. Every roadside dotted with items for sale – mops, brooms, rakes, talk time, tires, hand-made bed frames and metal brassieres.
Greetings from Lusaka, the capital of Zambia. We’re getting ready to welcome participants Open Heart Safari III.
We’ve already spotted peacocks, guinea fowl and shetland ponies. And, as you will see in Laura’s post, we’ve spotted a make-believe giraffe!
Stay tuned for pictures from our African adventures!
