Hello Everyone! We have safely arrived in Zambia. Since we have arrived, we have been so very busy! Today is the first time we have seen a computer, and it looks like Internet will be very scarce. But we are here!! For the next 7 weeks we will be staying in Chongwe with our host family. We live with a lovely older couple and 7 extended family members. It is a very loving home. We live without running water or electricity, but we are already adjusting and feeling at home. During the week we are busy with technical training and language training. Joey and I are learning the language Bemba and we found out we will be placed in the central province. We will be the first PCV in our village! Very exciting.
Each moment is new here and there is so much to take it! Everything is different and it is incredible how innocent and new we feel. Learning how to go to the bathroom in a pit toliet, how to eat dinner with just our right hand, and how to filter and fetch water from the well are just a few of the new things we are learning.
My time here in the Internet cafe in Lusaka is just about to expire! We will try to update the blog again soon.
Shalenipo! (goodbye for now)
