It's autumn in southern Zambia. The rains ended in early April, and we will not have any significant precipitaion again until late October or early November. The roadsides have already turned brown, and we are having to water our garden until we get our new drip irrigation system up and going. The temperatures are cooling off as well. The mornings and evenings are crisp and just cool enough for a sweater or jacket. Daytime temps are in the high 70's. Just about perfect, if you ask me. The Zambians predict a very cold winter because we had such a wet rainy season.
We made another attempt to pay the road tax on Monday. Robby, the Mission's finance officer, had banking business in Choma. He thought the Road Department accepted tax payments and agreed to go by there and take care of it. He did go by the Road Department but found that the office in Choma is not set up to accept road tax payments. The saga continues.
