Today was not very interesting at all. We woke up, packed our things, and got breakfast at Jollyboys. Then we headed to the bus station to catch the 9 o’clock bus back to Lusaka. We were taking the business class bus, which was a nice upgrade from our trip down. We met the Bowdoin kids at the bus. Chrissy had tried using our phone that morning but it wouldn’t turn on, and once on the bus she realized that the battery was missing. She ran all the way back to Jollyboys and found it on the ground next to our beds in the dorm – pheww. If we didn’t have a working phone we wouldn’t have been able to call our wonderful Lazzy for a ride home from the bus station (the station is filled with creepy and annoying taxi drivers that we hate dealing with). We slept, read, and listened to music on the 6 and a half hour bus ride. Once we got home we just hung out with Ivy, showed her pictures, and made dinner. Important thing to note: we have running water again!! That was definitely something we were hoping to find once we got home. Not being able to cook and shower really sucks. Now we just need to get out of vacation mode and adjust back to our normal lives of work – having to get up at 6:30 tomorrow – what a joy.
HI Sarah, Just got the link to your blog and love reading the posts - especially the post about your visit to the NICU. That has been "our world" for many years and always hoped our work would bring us to a NICU in Africa. Will look for more posts - hope you are having a great week! xxx ooo Eileen & Read
