October 24 is Independence Day in Zambia. Like the United States, Zambia was originally a British colony (Northern Rhodesia). The country earned its independence peacefully in 1964.
In observation of the holiday there were no classes here on campus and most students filled the day by with sporting events.
It was the hottest day we’ve had this year. The outdoor thermometer registered 112 degrees at 2:00. The humidity was very low, thankfully, so it didn’t seem that extreme. Our house stayed relatively comfortable with the windows open and ceiling fans whirring.
David grilled chicken and we ate our dinner on the back veranda with the sound of the crickets as our background music.
