Day 6 and we attended church in the morning with John and Charlene.
This was the traditional nshema meal from a previous post
In the afternoon we headed out to the craft market. The market is setup on the parking lot of the high end mall (equivalent to a nice strip mall in North America). The people buying are primarily tourists or ex-pats. Like other markets around the world the price usually starts at around twice or more of the final selling price. The best strategy is to show disinterest after which the deal gets better and better. We picked up a few things for the house. As with everything in Zambia the prices are close to on-par with North America so you can pick up some nice stuff for a reasonable price, but this is not the rock bottom pricing found in Asia and some other parts of the world.
Danica, Heidi and Erin making cinnamon buns
When we got back Heidi helped Erin and Danica make cinnamon buns. The girls thoroughly enjoyed the baking experience and the rest of us enjoyed the fruits of their labours.
Colouring eggs with the family
As we will be on the road during Easter we got an early start and coloured easter eggs. The girls were very creative with wax and colours and turned out some fine master pieces, while I (richard) opted for the solid colours. It was a great start to the week.
Happy Easter!
