"I am a part of all that I have met; yet all experience is an arch wherethro' gleams that untravell'd world whose margin fades for ever and for ever when I move."

Victoria Falls & the Royal Livingstone


It has been a busy, active day.  It started with the wonderful breakfast at the Protea.  Certainly better than the breakfasts at American hotels.  This is the Protea that I am familiar with!  

We went to Victoria Falls this morning.  It was beautiful and the rainbow was fantastic.  One of our HIZ-Path students got a surprise at the Falls.  Her boyfriend flew over and arrived here yesterday before we got to the hotel.  We hid him last night and he surprised her at the Falls with a ring and a proposal.  She was so excited.  He will go on our safari tomorrow and fly back with us on Friday. The photo below shows the top of the Falls with the rainbow and the newly engaged couple.

This afternoon we had high tea at the Royal Livingstone.  It is such a dramatic location on the banks of the Zambezi.  We always stick around for the sunset.  Tonight we had monkey encounters, and someone saw a crocodile and a hippo. Tomorrow we will see a lot more animals.

Once again, I really miss being here with Keri and Ian!
