Africa is where Brad is.
Africa is Brad's once in a life life journey.
Africa is where my heart remains until by Braddy returns home.
I am writing this blog on my fourth day of Brad's 16 day trip to Zimbabwe, Africa. I am lucky to have received a couple of e-mails from him while he has been away. Here are a few notes to summarize what he has shared with me.
Plane trip to New York had hard seats.
5 hour flight to New York, 16 hours to South Africa, 2 hours to Zimbabwe...LONG TRIP! So tired!
Poorest area he has ever visited before.
Hospital reminds him of early 20th century with a x-ray machine.
People are all very friendly.
Eat basic meat and salads.
Takes about 30 minutes to access internet.
Some TV for families with a satellite dish.
Kids thought it is was funny he didn't wear a long sleeze shirt and tie during a devotion service. Brad wore his traditional dockers and polo shirt. Love him!
Sleeps every night under a mosquito net.
I miss Brad terribly and I know he looks forward to returning home, but I am HAPPY he is enjoying this once in a lifetime experience. Please keep him in your prayers and thoughts for a great trip and safe travels home.
Check out "Nyadire, Mutoko, Mashonaland East, Zimbabwe" on Google Earth to get a basic lay of the land. It's a whole different world out there.

Sadly, I can only relate to the Lion King reference here. I need to get out more.
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome adventure, though!
No kidding. Super jealous of his experience but looking forward to learning from him when he gets home. Or atleast I can use it against him..."so I didnt take out the trash, you went without me to freakin' AFRICA for two weeks." wahhahahah
