Kennedy and Babyface at Halloween - I dressed them, naturally, as girls. I went as a local :)

Zambezi
Lunch stop during canoe trip on the Zambezi
River Guides
Babyface, Vinnie and Simba - some of the guides, makes me miss all of my climber friends. Day after my birthday at Taonga.
Morning Work

Beer Prep
Me attempting to pound millet - fairly unsuccessfully, for the beer. At least everyone had a good laugh.
Local Brewery

Sunset
Sunset in the bush - doesn't get much better than this. This was walking back from drinking local beer in the next village over, the most common past-time in Zambia
My Goat
