Since we don’t have internet at our home and our office is located in a Federal building which is closed on Sundays, I will now be posting my weekly blog on Mondays.

This past week saw the rains come with a vengeance. After three days of heavy downpour, Livingstone made the national news due to flooding [...]

It has been a real struggle to get this week’s blog loaded. Our office internet has been down since Friday. I tried a few internet cafes but they too were hving problems. Finally, I came to Olgas Restaurant where the connection seems pretty good. I can’t do blogs on Sunday anymore since we can’t access [...]

Our New Neighbours

Foster and Miriam and the three kids

This post is being copied and pasted in a rush. I’m working on my lap top battery because we haven’t found our adapters which we packed last November so I have to be quick. Here it goes……

We arrived back in Zambia on Wednesday January 20th to a wonderful reception from our staff and friends. LiPAF [...]

As I sat trying to find an appropriate label for this posting, the words “Heading Home” came to mind. It is funny because these are more or less the same words I used when we set out on our vacation to Canada. Was coming to Canada a vacation or coming home? While in Canada for [...]

We made this ’snowwoman’ between Christmas and New Years at Ryan and Sally’s house. She was obviously celebrating the world Junior hockey tournament being held in Canada. Unfortunately, Canada lost the gold medal game 6 to 5 against the USA. Canada has won the gold medal in the last 5 out of six tournaments and [...]

2009 was a difficult year for tourist operators in Zambia. Visitors to Victoria Falls were down as much as 50% during some peak months and lodges and resorts were sometimes empty when they would normally be full. The global economic crisis cut deep into the industry. LiPAF opened its first production at the end of [...]
