Zambia....and now Botswana!!!!

Hi everyone!!!

So I'm running out of time but quick update......Zambia was beautiful, monkey bite and all. But on to Botswana!!!! Im in Chobe National park. It's incredible. Yesterday we went on a game drive and saw 2 lions eating an elephant about 40 ft away. And then last night at sunset we went out on the Chobe river and saw a heard of 67 elephants.
Victoria Falls was beutiful, but it wasn't my favorite part about Livingstone. We did a service project at a school on the outskirts and it was life changing. There was little girl that was 2 years old crying among a group of 10 or 12 kids. I picked her up to comfort her and couldn't let her go for 4 hours. She wouldn't let me either. She had a huge gash that was really infected on her leg, I did the best I could to clean it up but she really need stitches and a doctor. At the end of the service project she cried when I handed to her mother. She never said a word the entire time but we were so close despite age difference and everything.
Tomorrow were moving on through Botswana and I'll try to write again as soon as I can.

I miss and love you all so much!!!

  1. Dear Phoebus, Glad that you have recovered from the monkey bite. Although we are related there is an attending friction, no doubt caused by an early Red Rose Tea commercial(refer to father for information) I am sure you will have many life changing experiences and knowing you, you will see them and learn from them. That is the key...being able to see them and respond. Take care my dear. Will be in touch.

  2. Phoebe, You have now seen Victoria, if you can see Malaku on the Congo, Kitum, and Kenshasha you will have completed my childhood dream pilgrimage. One day I'll take that Blue Train and then find a boat up the Congo. Maybe by then I'll be able to tell everyone, "I'm a friend of Phoebe." We miss you. Trust you didn't catch anything from the monkey. Trust the monkey didn't catch anything from you.

  3. Greetings from las Casas, Phoebe,
    I love being aboard your journal.
    A room of my own I already have.
    What I'd like is directions to the
    in-put slot of your piggy-bank.
