We have been in Zambia for seven days. We were met by three Friars, who were very helpful after sixteen hours on the plane and an additional forty minute wait in Johanisburg for an hour flight to Lusaka. We needed a good nights sleep. 
The weather is much like Florida with very similar vegitation. We are here in the rainy season and everything is green. It is lighter then I thought it would be but I've only been here a week.
