A small village in Zambia

      While in Zambia we stayed at the Livingstone, a very nice lodge. It sits on the Zambezi River giving a view of Zimbabwe across and not far to Victoria Falls. It caters to western tourists. Not far from the Livingstone is a small village which caters to western tourists by selling handmade goods. They accept only dollars and prefer crisp dollar bills. These two places are worlds apart. One is like a European hotel, and the other is a collection of mud huts. In the later I made a brief friendship with a young Zambian by the name of Peter. His goal was to get an education and move to a modern city. I suspect that he doesn’t remember me. I remember him vividly.
