Happy New Year from Zambia!

Happy New Year, 2008! We just walked across the bridge, from Zimbabwe to Zambia. Victoria Falls, one of the 7 wonders of the world, separates the two countries, so it was quite a beautiful crossing. We hiked around Victoria Falls National Park for much of the last three days, where warthogs wandered through the dense foliage and vervet monkeys swung from tree to tree. It was relaxing and rainy. Now we know what the Toto song "Africa" refers to, when discussing the "rains of Africa." We'll spend the next few days traveling across Zambia, and then we'll be around Lake Malawi for a week or so.
