Weekend.

2Matt • 28th Feb 2009 • Africa, Fun

I got really sunburned.

 

 

 

We had 2 bike races that we sponsored as a part of a Zambian TV show called “My Own Boss.”  It’s the Zambian version of “The Apprentice.”  The contestants had to put on charity bike races and we sponsored it.  We’ll be on Zambian prime time TV in a month or so.  I was outside for about 5 hours though and apparently we’re at an elevation of like 4 or 5 thousand feet.  Who knew?  I put sunscreen on my face and the back of my neck, but neglected my arms and chest… and hence the awesome picture above.

I relaxed the rest of the day away, watched a movie, and then at 8pm we went to a Lebanese restaurant that was not as good as other mediterranean food I’ve had in the States.  Can’t win ‘em all, I suppose.

After dinner we piled in our Isuzu truck and went to a concert… Oliver Mtukudzi… it was honestly one of the best concerts I’ve ever been to.  The musicians were all so talented and we danced and danced and Zambian/Zimbabwean dancing is so fun.

And now it’s Sunday for me (Saturday night for you, probably) and I’m talking to Heather on Skype which is so great… so great.  I think we’re going for a motorcycle ride later today, which should be awesome… Updates and hopefully pictures to follow.

Sorry still about the picture thing… Rest assured that I’m taking them and that they will be posted and you will be notified.

Goodbye for now internet.

Zambian Nugget Of The Day:  When dancing, the less movement of the body and the more fluid the movement the better.  The best dancers know how to balance big movements with small movements.  Give it a try, you won’t be sorry.
