Well, WiFi is working tonight but forgot my camera back at the house so pictures will have to wait. All the flights went well, long but well. I was the only one who slept well on the 15 hour flight due to the help of ambien CR and sonata. Besides waving and blowing kisses to everyone, I pretty much behaved myself! Once we arrived to Livingstone, we made the trip out to the Prana House where we are staying. The 4 kilometers down an extremely bumpy dirt road takes us about 20-25 minutes. On our first trip we saw 2 elephants! A little less exciting when we found out they were owned by locals who were with them, but still exciting. Driving on the left side of the road fells quite different (poor Jeff, our brave driver!) The Prana House is very nice and large. It is serving us well with the exception of the VERY LARGE spiders....(we have a few great videos of our spider killings!), We also have a gecko we have name Gary who resides on the wall by the dining room table and a frog who makes his way around the house. Our first experience at the grocery store was interesting but we have managed.
Today we woke and ate breakfast at Wonder Bake (Yum, real coffee and beef pie, much better then the raw chicken we has last evening at Hungry Lion). After we met with the Department of Health about the clinic, toured at orphanage we will be volunteering at on Saturday, and went to Kazungula to see the clinic for the first time. On the way we stopped at the current Kazungula clinic within minutes after a woman delivered. Naomi and I were able to go in at see the repair, clean up and care after the delivery. From there we walked to the Shomeka clinic. Thing are not quite as far along as we hoped; we have our work cut out for us while we are here and before the container arrives! We are heading back in the morning for the day......Thanks for all of you who are thinking and praying for us! We appreciate all your support! Till tomorrow....
