Tour Your Town


Inspired by Midland’s annual Be A Tourist In Your Town event.

Sometimes it’s the places I always go to and the stuff I always do that’s least documented as part of my Zambia story… that’s because those mundane things comprise the most boring, un-adventurous parts of my life :).

On a recent Saturday, Sara and I planned to tootle around Choma on bicycles taking photos of a few of our favorite sights, and stopping off to meet up with friends along the way. 



In all actuality, it had been a stressful week and neither of us had the energy to fight with two bicycles to ensure they were in proper working order for a ride… so we hopped in Amos and he chauffeured us here and there.


While in town, we stopped at a traditional local restaurant (one we’d never patronized before) for chicken and relish (cooked greens) and a big pile of nshima (staple maize patties). So much Yum.
