Introductions

outside the new Livingstone airport terminal

One week ago, my amazing, little (or, "young" as we say here) sister Betsy arrived in Zambia. The past seven days have been full of introductions as Heather and I show Betsy bits of our Zambian life. 

Following are a few examples from our holiday weekend in Livingstone.

Good thing there was one trickle of water for her to see at the Falls!

Betsy and I hiked down to the boiling pot together, which I think was the highlight of her time at the Falls. On the way, we met up with an Austrian gal visiting the Falls by herself, so we spent the rest of our afternoon together.

In the evening, Heather and I introduced Betsy to some good friends from Macha who happened to be in Livingstone for the weekend as well. We visited over tasty Italian food at Olga's.

Good times.

Breakfast after an early morning walking safari (must post pictures...).

We even went swimming together Saturday afternoon! 

Livingstone is known for being extra hot.

It's hard to beat the beauty of an African sunset.

Sunset cruise and dinner on the Zambezi River anyone?

anyone?

Sunday morning we walked to a nearby BIC church for Betsy's first Zambian church meeting.

Finally, we took a slight detour on the way home to visit some friends in the village.

They were delighted to introduce Betsy to nshima (the staple food made with maize flour and water) and a few other traditional foods.
