As we explore the sights in Livingstone, Africa is forever etched in the hearts of each of us.

We had a three days packed with adventure: Victoria Falls (one of the seven wonders of the world!), a safari, sunset Zambezi river cruise, sight seeing, and souvenir shopping filled up the days.

The splendor of Victoria Falls displays the majesty and magnificence of our Lord. Only He is worthy of creating such a marvelous thing. We walked along the edge of the Zambezi gorge as the water thundered on the rocks below and sent clouds of mist hundreds of feet into the air. The power of so much water cascading into the gorge below was awe inspiring (and very wet!)

On safari, we encountered animals such as giraffes, elephants, rhinos, monkeys, Impala, crocodiles, etc. in their natural habitat. We had several elephants walk in front of us as we sat still as statues taking it all in. It forced us to stop and gaze upon them with great respect for the creative power of God.

As we traveled along the waters of the Zambezi River, the beauty of the African sky illuminated by the setting sun took our breath away. We saw a group of elephants at the water edge of the Zambezi River drinking, bathing, and frolicking. Hippos made their appearances bobbing their heads up and down to take in air as we floated by. A long Crocodile rested on the warm sandy shoreline. Beautiful African birds displayed an array of color as they flew in out of tiny homes carved out at the river's edge. We stood and admired the beauty of it all - forever etched out in our minds! We were fortunate to see so many spectacular creatures!

The team had the opportunity to visit several open markets and hone their bartering skills as they shipped for handcrafted carvings, baskets, paintings, jewelery, etc.

As we ready ourselves to leave Africa, we are thankful to have been able to experience it's beauty and it's wonderful people.
