Shackletons

Tonight we went to Shackletons for dinner. Shackletons is a fishing lodge right on the Zambezi river. They rent boats and offer fishing guides, however, we just went for dinner. The lodge is incredible...it's an open air veranda with a bar, comfortable sofas to relax on, and a huge fire pit. The pictures I took just don't do it justice. It truly was a traveler's paradise. We had a wonderful meal, drinks, and spending time with friends. I posted a few pictures.

The mission house where we're staying has a bus to transport the groups, and that's what we took over to Shackleton's tonight. It was surreal riding down the African road at night. It really gave a new meaning to the phrase "in the middle of nowhere". We truly went to eat tonight "in the middle of nowhere". I guess it would be hard to get lost though, there's only one paved road.

Earlier in the day, I taught some Excel skills to the hospital staff. They are largely still based on paper for many of their accounting needs, but they are trying to move towards entering more and more of the information on computers. In the afternoon, I taught some math skills to the 8th graders at the Orphan center. We played some math games on the laptops they have at the school. These kids were so excited to be using a computer and to be learning math. They really enjoyed learning...it was refreshing.
