Are we there yet?

Arriving in Africa has been one of the strangest experiences that most of us have been through. Life here is about 10 times as hectic as it was in the US of A, so I really haven't had the time to sit back and contemplate Zambia and even Mwandi as a whole, or blog. Some of the highlights of the trip (for me at least), is when one of the teachers at the school asked me if I was a Republican or a Democrat. I swelled up with pride as I explained to him my views, though I seem to be in a minority here (Ron Paul '08!!). The nice thing about having internet here is I can keep up on the Huskers game timer (84 days, 21 hours, 17 minutes, and 52 seconds until the kickoff of the Western Michigan game). The thing I dislike about the internet access is the sense that this isn't Africa... at all. We are sitting in the main "lodge" meeting place, and there are 9 people on Laptops. The boy's dormitory is literally 10 feet from a tributary that is linked to the Zambezi, which is pretty cool. Our hosts are some of the most inspiring people I have met, the work they have done here is just amazing. Pam and I went to the pre-School today and had the best times of our lives. Sorry for the randomness of this post, my bed is calling me and I didn't have time to organize this letter very well. Everything is just swell here in Mwandi, and hope everything going well in Fort Collins.

Go Huskers!!!
