Sept trip to Lusaka

We went to the Lusaka, the capital city, last week. John was able to get some paperwork done for Central Africa Baptist Radio, we did some shopping and went to a zoo.


I love the flowering trees this time of year. As the trees in the US are changing colors, our trees are changing colors too. We are getting closer to the rainy season, but before the rains come, many of the trees burst forth with blossoms! The purple jacaranda trees lining this street are gorgeous. A little farther down the road the trees were fuller with blossoms, but I had to put the camera away. Police were everywhere and we were soon stopped to allow a VIP motorcade to pass. We got to sit there and look at the pretty flowers longer!


Who thought we would have to go to a zoo in Africa in order to see animals?! The zoo was small, but had a variety of animals. There was an enclosure with 6 adult lions that was impressive. I have to admit that I got the biggest kick out of the area that housed tortoises and rabbits together.
