We are bleary-eyed, jet-lagged, and bone-weary, but we are home in Zambia at last. The journey included eight hours in a car, 18 hours in the air on two different flights, three hours of standing in line, one hour in a bus switching airports in London, and 15 hours waiting around in airports. We left Austin early Tuesday morning and arrived back at Namwianga Thursday afternoon.
When we left Zambia in late November, the rains had just begun and the countryside was still dry and brown. We arrived today to find everything lush, green, and beautiful.
Tonight (Thursday) we are unpacking and putting away the many items that were given to us or that we purchased on our trip. We're also packing away the winter sweaters and fleece jackets we wore in the US--we won't need them here until June.
I'll blog more about our last few days in the States when I've had some sleep!

Glad to know that you are back in Zambia safe and sound . . . . . What a long trip to get there! I guess it makes you realize how big the world really is.
Hope you get rested quickly and find everything has gone smoothly in your absence!
Blessings,
Mary Ann
