So after last night's party, we were all hoping that there would be
some left over Cokes to have, but they (oh so shockingly)
disappeared. After the fourth or so person mentioned wanting a Coke,
Kim (with a car) suggested going into boma to get some. We all (Kim,
me, Crystal, other Kim, Josh, and their baby) piled into Kim's truck
and go. Once we have our Cokes, we decide to go for a Sunday Drive.
And so we head toward Zambia.

And so we head toward Zambia.
In fairness, the boma is about 10 km from the border, so going toward
Zambia just means going further down the road. But still. Along the
way, we passed the following:
1. a 4' snake that we ran over and totally flattened its head,
2. a monkey that was tied to a tree, with a man playing with/taunting
it (who then offered to bring the monkey up the hill to the road),
3. the border itself, and
4. a bunch of cows, including one nursing.
There was also a lot of grass burning, which happens along the side
of the road in order to clear the brush.
Its just like the "a pigeon...a puppy.........and a papaya" - you were in the car for that one right?
Missing you guys and Malawi, but so happy the yeah hon blog is back!
Um, why didn't you save the monkey? He could have gone on the Bawlmer Terr. And ridden in the sidecar with the person playing the autoharp.
Loving the videos.
Miss you so much!
