Linda is here!

I had an uneventful (thankfully) trip to pick up Linda in Livingstone.  She had managed to meet up with Macha friends Abby and Christina on Friday night before I got there, so I knew from Abby she was there safely, albeit minus her checked luggage.  We found each other without problems at Jolly Boys hostel on Saturday and proceeded to the airport and then the Falls.

We enjoyed a(nother, for me) visit to the Falls, including seeing the Boiling Pot, the place at the base of the Falls where the water swirls around like crazy.  I'll have to get Linda's pics of it since I left my camera safely in the Ziploc bag.  Then we went through the Falls lookouts themselves, getting soaked along the way, and walked back to see the Zambezi as it drops over the edge.

Before heading back to the lodge, we braved the sometimes-aggressive artisan-sellers outside the entrance to the Falls in an effort to get fair (but not insulting) prices for things to take back to the States.  We met up with the other two girls there, who had taken a different route at their Falls visit, including bungee jumping.  Then we all headed back to Jolly Boys and out to eat for great Italian food for dinner.  We had a smooth trip back today via Choma.  Below is a pic of us eating at the Italian restaurant run by at-risk youth who are trained in life skills with work at the restaurant as their final step in the program.

My calzone (on the right) was deeelicious!  We all shared around, too!  What fun!
