We’ve arrived at our final destination, for now. Zambia is looking pretty nice so far. Although shorts are still a no-go us girls won’t always have to wear skirts as we previously thought. It’s an hour even further ahead than London so it’s around 1:30 in the morning back in Chicago.
We’re in a temporary house for now. It’s all one floor, but we’ve got 2 bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, a kitchen, a dining room, a living room, and a sitting room. And a huge yard, it’s gigantic; we’ve got a pool (it’s dried-up right now but still), a basketball court, a volleyball/tennis court, and tons of normal yard space. The whole thing is enclosed with a wall that’s got barbed wire around the top and there’s a uniformed guard at the entry/exit to the place (he’s only armed with a Billy club thing).
There’s something wrong with the roof of the place we’re in, it leaks in the rainy season, and it’s got a canvas tarp over part of the roof so the housing people are trying to move us out sooner rather than later. We’ll be moving into a house that was, until now, used by the Dutch Embassy.
