I Am Going To Miss You, Zambia

My time here in Zambia has come to an end.  In a few hours I will board a plane to fly back to the States.  These last few days have been full of goodbyes.  But I am not leaving all of Zambia behind.  I am bringing some of it home with me... Whether in the form of a bamboo bicycle frame, N’Shima cravings, bow hunting skills, new friendships, or unforgettable experiences...  Zambia and Zambikes has left a mark on my life.  I will no doubt always find my heart tied to this place and the work being done here.
I am excited to return home and see my family and friends, but I am certain that there will be some adjusting upon my return.  After all, I have spent a majority of the last 6 months being a minority, driving on the left side of the road, and eating with my hands.  (FYI- You may not want to ride in a car with me for the first week I am back.)
The last 6 months have been quite an adventure, and I want to thank all of you who joined me for the ride.  I hope you enjoyed reading my account of our experiences and seeing Zambia through my eyes.  It was a pleasure to be able to share it with you all.  So... Until next time...

May you and your goat travel safe.
