Given!
Well, it was a great trip up and a great trip there... the only glitch was getting back to Choma. I started out last week making my way up to see Given in Mansa, Luapula Province. I went to the village, tried to help in the field (got blisters after 15 minutes), ate casava meal, and just visited with GIven after a long time. I need it too... my patience for all things PC has been running thin and I needed to be reminded of why I came here and why I've stayed. Given (and my other great friends/experiences) drown out all the bad stuff. It is a good thing that the visit went so well, or me being stuck in Lusaka after a 13 hour bus ride that was supposed to take 8 would have sent me packing. The only big lament I have is that I was trying to make it back to Choma so that I could watch the Vikings beat the Patriots on Monday Night Football (showing at 3:30am here). Don't tell me who won... they rebroadcast at 4pm today!
