Still in Lusaka

As of now, we are hoping to load up and start our journey up country on Tuesday. Yesterday was a whirl of shopping--I have a lot of the basics, so it was picking up the odds and ends that I don't have and a few treats for the holidays. I found a few new shirts which was exciting--it's amazing how quickly your cloths either get destroyed, or you just wish you had SOMETHING else to wear. Tomorrow we're going to be getting our perishable stuff; stuff to put in the freezer so it will survive the trip. It looks like there will be a stop for some dental work (not mine PTL!) in Kitwe, and then home. While it's fun to be in Lusaka, eat out, shop, and be off station, I will be deeply grateful to be in my bed again.
