Ben outside my house with my new bestfriend. Ben named her Charley, she sleeps outside my door every night! I feel very protected:)
Touchdown Zambia!
The sunsets are amazing here...I live just in front of the palm trees a bit.
Since arriving in Zambia a few weeks ago the time has flown by. We are both in training, Lizzy in Chongwe and Ben in Chipembi until mid October when we will be together again! Ben was able to stay with me in Chongwe until his training started this last week so that was nice and next weekend I will get to go to see where he stays. We are each living with host families during our training which is quite an experience. We live in mudhuts, I have a metal roof but Ben has the real deal thatch roof and electricity is no where to be found. The food is taking a little to get used to, we eat a lot of nshima, which is basically a massive polenta cake that you use to scoop anything else you might have on your plate. We are both learning Bemba and found out that we will be living in the Central Province outside of Serenje once we are done with training and official Peace Corps volunteers!
