Zambia

 Drove from Lilongwe in Malawi to Lusaka in Zambia, 12 hours on a bus. While in Lusaka we visited the baby orphaned elephant refuge. 30,000 elephants are illegally killed each year in Africa, the orphanage is trying to save 3 of them, so they can go back in the wild.  Then we visited the human orphanage and played various forms of soccer.  Many times I see people playing games of checkers on improvised checker boards. At the craft fair park place, I am most interested in the old animals, worn and faded, stacked in the corner.

At the orphanage

 There seemed to lots of large spiders hanging from the trees

this is a walking stick

And these are the baby elephants who drink lots of special formula baby elephant milk, then they roll around in the mud.
