"I guess today was its day"

We awoke in Mwandi this morning after getting a ride from the airport from Godfrey. Godfrey is a very nice man who helps out at the mission house doing various tasks.

I uploaded a few pictures I snapped around Livingstone. Definitely a very bustling little city. The market was especially entertaining. We stopped to buy some beverages so that we might enjoy a little drink at night. There's no ABC here...you just buy it off the sidewalk. Needless to say, this guy had a nice little display of everything you could possibly want.

That was after we spent 62000 kwacha on a pizza, which is about $12. It was pretty good. We had asked Godfrey if there was anywhere we could stop and get a bite to eat, and he took us to Subway. We opted for the pizza place next door instead.

The ride from Livingstone to Mwandi was about an hour. The road is paved now, which is a huge improvement over the last time Jen was here. We napped a bit during the ride. At one point, we saw a dog standing in the road. Most likely a semi-wild dog, as there are a lot of those around here that scavenge for food from the villagers. Anyway, this particular dog didn't really feel like moving from the road. Godfrey did everything he could to avoid it while still manuevering the vehicle very safely, but it was unavoidable. Sad to say it was the end of the road for that little fella. As Godfrey said, "I guess today was its day."
