It’s September! How did
that happen? I haven’t posted here since
June. I just came back from an amazing
weekend of teaching some yoga and figured it was time to get back on the
blogging. It’s always difficult to go
back in time though and figure out what I should tell y’all on here (because I
know you have been anxiously awaiting my next post). But I’ll pick out a few of the good bits to share.
At the beginning of July, I went to London and Paris. Not so bad?
I met a friend from the states there and we made the most of our 5 day holiday. We shopped, ate lots of good food, and did an incredible amount of walking (to shop and eat). I hadn’t seen
her in a couple of years and it was mostly lovely to just hang out! I did manage to get stuck on the train
back from Paris to London for many long hours (where they only fed us Twix bars for some odd reason), and then missed my flight back to Lusaka. I eventually got back but it was a real process. Sometimes I have to remind myself how much I love traveling. Sigh.
In August, I went back to the states for a wedding! My friend from Peace Corps was getting
married so I decided it was necessary to make the trek back. While seeing her so incredibly happy was worth
it, I can’t say that I love making that journey across the ocean more than once
in a year (again, the reminder to myself that I love traveling). But, I did get to see some
amazing friends (including my mom!), spend time in a city I’ve never been to before (can you
believe this American had never been to Washington DC before?) and drink an
incredible amount of chai tea.
Since then I’ve been back in Zambia. It’s getting very hot. Although I shouldn’t complain. I now have a lovely air conditioner in my
bedroom and the power cuts are minimal. This
last weekend I also got to to lead a lovely group at a yoga retreat at one of the
most amazing lodges on the Lower Zambezi.
I’d have to say life is pretty good.
