Cool friends!!

Okay...how many friends do you have that have Zebras running around their backyards? Yeah, me neither but...Chelsea and Bradley have friends named Adele and Kelly who have 2 Zebras in their yard...which is around 26 acres. How cool is that?? They would not let us approach them but they would creep up on you, like in this picture of Bradley and Kelly.

We had lunch yesterday with Mike and Lesley-Ann Borman- Mike moved to South Africa from California then traded in a corporate lifestyle to move to Zambia and become a professional hunter and taxidermist. Lesley-Ann is Zambian born and bred- she had some great stories about how this country has changed.

Exams are over for Chelsea so she began "Spirit Week" at school today. Her class, Year 7, had to dress in all black so she wore a black tank-top with black pants- she said she felt "Goth". Tomorrow is Crazy Hair day and thanks to Erica Tebb's great "plastic cup on the head" hairdo- she is sure to win extra points for her team. The whole school is split into 3 teams all year and have little competitions every now and then to earn points. It creates camaraderie among students in different grades as they all work together to earn points. They are named after the three rivers in Zambia: Kafue, Zambezi and Luangwa.

Brad is preparing for a week of fun with a field trip to the movies, a Christmas party and his Grease presentation. He got a recorder in music class today and is sitting behind me now playing "Yankee Doodle". The Internet is amazing- Erik downloaded many songs for Brad to play on his recorder- including some Christmas carols.
