Im in Lusaka, baby, so why dont you blog me

I’m in Lusaka, baby, so why don’t you blog me I am writing this from an internet cafe just outside Lusaka, Zambia, and Sam is awesomely posting this for me. My group has been here for just under a day, and we are staying in a guesthouse near the capital for the next 5 days or so. We hope to meet with 3 students from the University of Zambia (UNZA) before we begin our trip to the community of Mwape, near the Nyimba province. The travel has been somewhat tiring but it is so exciting to be here finally that the bug bites and jet lag and humidity are minor concerns. Last night, I ate dinner at a fast food restaurant called Zamchick where my mango-pineapple juice cost more than my 3 piece chicken and small fries meal. Now were off to change our currency, try to contact the UNZA students, eat breakfast (bread, jam, and peanut butter), and go to the market to buy fabric for skirts/sarongs. I have not showered since leaving MIT about 3.5 days ago, so I should probably do that too. Hope all is well for you! Im not sure if Ill have regular internet access again, so until then
