'Tis The Rainy Season

Greetings & Salutations everyone. As I approach the start of my sixth month in Zambia, I really can't believe I've been gone from home for that long. What I really have a hard time picturing is that less than a year ago I was still taking classes at Iowa. It all seems worlds away. Anyways, I digress. It's the height of the rainy season and all is well.

For the last month or so it has been raining almost everyday. It rains all times of the day, but the good thing is it finishes after a couple of hours. When it rains here people stop working like they're communists. They look at you like you're crazy if you're outside in the rain. That's nice because if I have an appointment at 7:00 and it's raining, I just get to stay in bed and sleep.

Like I said things here are great and have really been picking up a lot, but you can read about that below. I posted new pictures at the beginning of January, so if you haven't been here in awhile, fell free to check them out. I hope you find the following posts interesting and/or entertaining. Be sure to read the last one.
