So much to share...where to start. We are currently in Chomo at the Museum. We just had brunch. We traveled to Livingston, bartered/shopped...some loved it, others not so much. :) It has been raining a lot here! We stayed in a camp for the last two nights. Yesterday, we went on a safari. Again, it rained! We were TOTALLY drenched even with panchos. We saw giraffe, wart hogs, impalas, water buffalo, zebras and a couple other deer like animals. When it started pouring, I am pretty sure we were on the far side of the park but we were so done. We then ate and went to Victoria Falls. Oh my...again, no words can describe the beauty of it! Kenny videoed it so everyone could hear the roar. It was incredible! Ash almost got attacked by a very large baboon. She was carrying a Fanta. They must LOVE Fanta. Blu came to her rescue. He was just waiting for an opportunity to throw a rock at a monkey!! He also negotiated for us to get to go back in the safari in "Bus Number New Day". Talk about an adventure! Our mission...to find an elephant and hippo. Blu let everyone decide what direction to turn. That may not have been the best idea. You know what happened next. We got lost. It was hilarious! We were trying to find the river and happened upon a lone elephant. No others were in site. It was like God just placed him there for us. After a long period, we managed to get to the main road and the river. We were driving along the river and found a hippo walking along the bank on the Zimbabwe side of the Zanbezi River. Mission accomplished! We then went back to the camp and ate. We got up early this morning to head to Lusaka. We were suppose to meet Darbi in Chomo but she could not get out because one river had a tree blocking it. The other river was too high. Blu, Ash & Red went to get food for New Day. Kenny and Blu are now heading to Mupanza to try to get Darbi and the kids & Debbie across the river and float the food. I hope Kenny thinks to get pictures. Please pray for them that it all works and everyone remains safe. They will then return to get us and we will head to Lusaka. We are hoping to make it in time to go to the market so we can get a few more things before we leave tomorrow. We want Chitangas!
