Incommunicado
hallo all! i am off to jolly London for a few days!
taking a bit of a (well-deserved and much needed, if i dosaysomyself!) break from writing. if you are still looking to catch up with some of my adventures in Zambia, here are a few of my favourite entries (in chronological order):
- Paul’s pessimism [on foreign aid missions]
- It’s a boy! (x2) [witnessing my first African clinic births]
- Sports day [at a community school]
- A walk to Victoria Falls [exactly as it sounds]
- Culture shock [failing to fit in]
- On writing [the biased perspective of my version of the "truth"]
- Night shift [with the labour ward nurses at the clinic]
- On the children [so much to say, but so hard to acknowledge]
- Kwazizi-la [cold mornings]
- Weekend in Zimbabwe [in three parts]
- The Post [Zambian newspaper]
- Waning [ready to go home]
it’s been a month since i’ve read any of your blogs or checked out your flickr photostreams. i am immensely looking forward to catching up with both. thank you again for all of your comments and support. i’ve read every comment and every email and appreciate every single word.
see you soon! xoxo

My husband is starting medical school this year as well. They actually start July 23, and I’m sure he wishes he could travel to Zambia and London as well! Well, hopefully in the future…Have fun on your travels!

I have thoroughly enjoyed reading your account of your time in my old country of Zambia. I love the way you described the very smallest detail. One that sticks out is the way Zambians acknowledge you with a raising of the head instead of a slight bow of the head. Thanks for sharing …..wishing you a happy future.
