In Jburg

Sitting here in Jburg during our six hour layover and just saw our plane arrive. Got our boarding passes and we should be home in about 22 hours. The last two days have been very good. Drs. John Spurrier and Phil Thuma gave us a tour of the Macha hospital and Maleria research center. Incredible work they are doing. Will post some pictures later..can't get my USB port to work on this airport computer. Then Tuesday I saw Victoria Falls. The missionary pilot flew us over the falls before landing in Livingstone...they really are incredible....can I say that it makes Niagara look small?? The Zambezi River reached it's highest level in 40 years this spring....this means the falls are just roaring. Walked through the "mist"....was like walking through a driving rain storm. Then we flew back to Lusaka and had an interesting night there. Be sure to check John's blog for some really cool graphics from Google Earth about what we've seen over these 3300 km in the past two weeks. It's been a great trip and I'd do it again..but I'm ready to get home:) Will post more pictures and reflections next week.
