Arrival in Zambia

Arrived in Zambia this afternoon. Not much to tell you about today, other than it is still the rainy season here, so arrival was in the middle of a pretty good thunderstorm.

This area is also very green, and beautiful. The area we are currently in has several western style shopping malls. The one closest to the airport amused me. There was a Woolworths, a Subway, and a grocery store, among other clothing and shoe stores. Just like home, right? And then we arrived at the Holiday Inn…..

Had dinner at an Italian restaurant, but have been told that we will experience Zambian food later in the week.

As it’s the weekend, tomorrow morning, we are leaving Lusaka, and will spend the weekend in Livingstone, some 500km from here. Livingstone is on the Zambia / Zimbabwe border, and is the home of Victoria Falls. I’m told this is larger than Niagara Falls in the US. It’ll take us most of the day Saturday to get there, and Sunday will be a fun day. Looking forward to a day without meetings.
