From Livingstone

From Livingstone

Hello everyone from Livingstone! Yesterday we drove about 2 1/2
hours to Namibia. We
went to the immigration post in Zambia to sign out of the country.
Then we walked to the post in Namibia. To take the car would have
been very expensive. So we checked into Namibia immigration. We were
probably some of the few white folks that walk from one border to
another! Dave Walker, who is
temporarily in charge at Children of Zion village, met us there and
drove us to the village. (This is the first orphan village Benedict
was involved in and is supported by our church in MD.) It had been 4
1/2 years since we had been
there. Of course, little 2 year olds that Sena had taken care of are
so big now and don't remember her. The newest arrival, a 2 month old
little girl, was loved, held, fed, and changed by Sena. The older
kids remembered Benedict. They have a school we had never seen and they
have now built a transitional living house that will probably be
occupied in the next month.

Of course I was interested in their school. I asked lots of
questions. They are doing things differently than we are, but it
was interesting to see.

After about 4 hours, they took us back to the border and we walked
back into Zambia and picked up our car.

This morning we went to the Livingstone Museum. It is a wonderful
museum that I am going to recommend to folks who come here. It covers
history, natural history, political history, etc, etc. I want to go
back sometime. This afternoon we get picked up at 3:15 and go to a
Sunset dinner cruise on the Zambezi River. Tonight is also the first
night of about 3 when there is a moonbow. That is when the moon is so
full that you see a rainbow over the falls made by the moons light.
Don't know that we will see it - it is a bit cloudy and don't know
when we will get back from the cruise.

It has been a lovely 3 days of R&R in the midst of our busy visitor season.
