Victoria Falls

We spent an absolutely gorgeous Zambia afternoon at one of the most beautiful and staggering displays of creation on our planet...we wandered around Victoria Falls for a couple hours seeing babboons show us their red back sides, get soaked by the mist of the spray of the thundering water pouring down as the Zambezi river empties down some 300 feet, watching bungee jumpers plunge off a bridge connecting Zambia and Zimbabwe, seeing double rainbows above the falls, and taking hundreds of pictures above the falls where missionary David Livingstone came upon them in a small canoe over 150 years ago...

And there were quiet moments reveling in the midst of God's splendor while knowing the poverty and disease and political turmoil and so many people in desperate need were all around us...and yet the power of God in the falls speaks to the vastness of His love and grace and strength for all things in a truly remarkable way...

We are off to see all kinds of His created animals tomorrow on safari as we wind down our time here in Africa...

We are truly counting the days to see you all and again and show and tell what this experience has been for all of us...
