Well I've arrived safely in Lusaka, Zambia! While the flight from JFK to Johannesburg was rather long, it wasn't bad. Got a few meals, watched some movies, and snagged some sleep. Everything is so green as it's the middle of rainy season. Was surprised to see women already selling ears of corn! Am excited to learn Zambian cropping practices! So far I've seen ant,cockroach, and beetle friends. Glad to of avoided the mosquito friends though. Hopefully you received the email with the attached picture. It was taken at the airport after we cleared customs (Yay, made it!) Luckily it's not too hot yet although it feels slightly muggy. Nothing compared to the Midwest though. (thank goodness). Hopefully will get into a routine soon. Sunday we're doing site visits where we go stay with a current volunteer in their village for a few days.
This postcard was sent from Zambia on Feb 15 and received in the US the first of March. Nicole is now staying with her Host Family and living in a hut. She will be learning Tonga language and stationed in the Southern Providence.
