She cooked a traditional Zambian meal of nshima and Chinese rape!
And she baked cinnamon rolls complete with icing!
She ate sugar cane with Mr. Henry Chipanga.
She ate nshima and pork at Daisy and Henry Chipanga's house!
After lunch, we picked cotton in the Chipanga's field.
Then we helped the Chipanga's shuck corn!
We said goodbye to the Chipanga's and they sent her away with groundnuts!
Our next stop on our day in the village was to visit Kawere Village where our dear friend, Bertha lives! Kayla wanted to carry water on her head, and I knew that Bertha was the perfect teacher, because she taught me!
Kayla was awesome and didn't spill one drop!
We said goodbye to Bertha and Cynthia and headed back home after a long but fun day in Petauke!
Our kids love Kayla and she was so sweet to spend time reading them their favorite books!
The next day, we visited one of our Peace Corps friends, Tabatha, at her home at Ndake. Tabatha works with the Ndake Basic School. We got to meet the head teacher and visit with a few of the 700 students.
We went to Tabatha's home and met her Zambian family that takes great care of her!
Then we headed to Lusaka where she met several missionary families that live and serve in Zambia! We had a birthday cookout for a missionary kid, Abby!
We went to the Last Saturday Market and ate burritos and other yummy food!
On Sunday, we began our journey to Victoria Falls. We arrived, ate lunch, and went right to the Falls for our Zambezi River Bath!
Ellen, Lily, Kayla, and Lauren explored the scene with David Livingstone!
This was Kayla's face when she first saw the Falls! It was awesome to be with her, she was so excited!
We got really wet!
The next day we had an adrenaline filled day! It began with Abseil...
Then the flying fox...
And the grand finale was the gorge swing!!!
A free fall of 53 meters or 57 yards before ever feeling the jerk of the rope!
We saw animals, like this crocodile named "Brainless". He has eaten three people and was brought to this crocodile farm!
And she held a crocodile!
A mama giraffe washing her baby!
Impala
And the sun beginning to set over the Zambezi River.
Lauren was Kayla's buddy the whole time!
Before she left we had to see the Falls one more time! This time we had a beautiful rainbow and awesome views of the river and the falls!
We all enjoyed having Kayla here, especially her second cousin, Kendall!
COME BACK REALLY SOON, KAYLA!!!
Girl was that you on the free fall??? i want to hear about that :)
