Sorry for not updating the blog in awhile- I have not had internet access.
Quick update. Last weekend I went to Masvingo with Major, Jordan, Rick and Sue. We had a great time and got to visit the Great Zimbabwe. It was beautiful and amazing how everything was made out of stone.
Yesterday Jordan and I were at the airport to pick my mom up, she arrived safely after a very long journey. We then drove back to Chidamoyo and this morning I gave my mom the tour of the hospital and the surrounding area. It was so great to have her meet everyone that I have been working here with. I thought I was going to make it out of here without seeing a snake but today on my last day there was one at the school. We yelled nyoka (snake in Shona) and 2 girls ran over and started throwing rocks at it and hit it with a stick. Then the boys caught wind of it and ran over and killed it with the stick. They don't mess around with snakes here because with the poisonous ones it can be life or death.
Later today Major is driving us back to Harare and we will hopefully (because things don't always work here) be flying to Vic Falls and then going on a Safari. Next week we will be going to Cape Town, South Africa which should also be fun.
I am excited to travel around the country more although I am sad to be leaving everyone here. I don't think I will be able to update my blog again, so see everyone back in the U.S. in a couple of weeks!!
