Zambia So Far..... (We're all still alive)

Wow so much to tell and so little time! Luckily, we had no problems with our long flights to Zambia and we have arrived with no problem. My first impression of Zambia via Lusaka was the heat. When we first landed it was cool but by the time we reached our first campsite the temperature was scorching. Most of the trip so far has been driving North to our sampling sites, and we have made some night stops in between. We made our first sampling trip yesterday and had some exciting results. Thankfully, the locals are willing to help us and this cuts down on time spent in the mud, because the locals either just tell us or go get some mussels for us. The local people are so curious to see us that we draw a crowd wherever we decide to sample. Yesterday kids were just touching my skin because it was so different from my own. So far we've seen some waterfalls and today we are heading to Kasanka National Park. We all want everyone at home to know that we are ok, we miss them, and that we are having a wonderful time. I have taken plenty of pictures but due to the poor internet connection here you will have to wait until I return to the states to see them. Until next time.....
