Livingstone Rocks!

Wow!

Well, I "graduated" from Peace Corps training and am now officially a PCV (Peace Corps Volunteer). The ceremony was amazing and beautiful. It was a VERY sad goodbye for me when I left Mwekera on Saturday... the hardest was to leave my best friend, Given. I can't wait for her to visit me here though. I've just finished my first photo memory card, so look for pictures soon. I'm sure Jenny will get on that soon :)
Right now I am writing to you from the Provincial capital of my home province... LIVINGSTONE! I got to see Victoria Falls today. I can't really describe it; it isn't one of the 7 natural wonders of the world for nothing! I guess that means that you'll all have to come and visit to see it.
I don't have a house yet in Choma :( I get posted Tuesday to a temporary house though, so I'm sure it will be all good. I have a permanent address for EVERYTHING for the next two years. It is a 15 minute walk from almost everywhere in Choma to the post office. I can't wait to hear from all of you:

Annie Ringo Vine
PO Box 630109
Choma
Zambia
Africa

What is MUCH more exciting is that I have a telephone. I mean, it is all mine, and I'll have it on and operating all the time. It doesn't cost me anything to receive calls from y'all, but it is too much for me to call out. Basically, if you want to make my day or even just call to say hey, get a phone card and dial me up. My number is as follows:

011 260 97574635

Please keep the messages via email and post on this site coming. Thank you for all the letters and packages still.

Peace,
RINGO

PS the burn is healing nicely... still looking disgusting though!

CONGRATULATIONS! I'm glad to see a new address for you. I received my passport yesterday, YEAH!! I can't wait to see Victoria Falls and so much more. I will do some more research like you suggested for things to do or see while i'm there. Keep up the good work and don't forget to always be positive and have faith. Love and miss you soo much, Bev & Chesnee

Yay!!! I will get the pictures up as soon as I get the card. I promise that for sure. I can't wait to see them. Glad to see you will be somewhere permanent soon and especially that you will have a phone. I'm going to start calling you up and asking if your refrigerator is running.

Just a quick note to remind you to update your "more about me" page with your new address for newcomers to your site in case they want to send you some goodies or a letter! I know you put it on your last posting, but that posting will be way down on the list after a while. SMILES!
