Hello all my friends!

I finally got the filter off the computer that was inhibitting me to share my life in Zambia with all of you. And I did manage, as you can see, a couple photos but now the interenet is not working well enough for me to add more.

So I will breifely give up a update of my life around the world in Africa.
Things are pretty quite now that the school year has ended and all the students have gone home and some of the teachers went for a bit of a travel.

Yesterday I got back from a bit of a travel myself. Anne and Charles took Chrissy and myself to see the 8 MILLION fruit bats take flight into the night sky. I was hoping to show some pistures but sadly I will not just now. These bats were amazing, and we were right in the middle of them! And these are not just small little bats but as big as my arm spand! The four of us trekked through a smelly muddy swamp deep into the bush where we climbed high in a tree so we could reach the top where we would then be surrounded by a moving dark sky. It was great.
We camped at Kasanka that night where I very foolishly threw my brand new headtorch that Alex just bought me down a 12foot longdrop toilet leaving me alone in the dark with the bugs....very bad.
The next day we drove a bit further to Kundalilla falls where we took a nice swim at the bottom of the beautiful overflowing waterfall. It was a bit hard to awim though because it is rainy season and there was alot of water falling, huh like a waterfall.....
It was a nice two day trip and I just wish we were still traveling. I am missing home and all of you very much. School starts again on January 6th and I must say I'm enjoying not working to much to be looking forward to it!

I hope all is well and love getting emails from Oregon!
I will tell more when I can get more pictures up so you can see what I am talking about.

Much much love,
Rachael
