African Sunsets from Zambia

Photos that speak on their own...

Here at last!!

Hello from Zambia,

Sorry for the delay in writing -- this is now Day 6 as I arrived on the farm last Friday after leaving Toronto Pearson Airport at 8:00p.m. on Tuesday night!

Long trek but worth the trip as it's just as beautiful as I last left it -- in May 2005.

I sit on the veranda writing my blog as I look out at the africa plains, watching the larger than life sun set, with an english tea in my hand. Yes, I'm still the multi-tasker, no matter where I am in the world.

The family has opened their home and their hearts, just as I knew they would. Derry and Mike are in charge while Tony & Jo are back at home in England. Dave, Farm Manager (Derry's son) is here with his girlfriend Ashley plus UK Builder, Matt so it's nice to have new/old friends to hang with.

Most of the farm staff have turned over so I'm sad to see some of my friends have gone -- Wizzy The Cook, Eric The Guard, Ellios The Driver, Albert The Handyman and Silver too! Betty, my maid is still here as well as Lawrence The Treasurer.

Good news is I'll begin new relationships which is what africa is all about! I jumped right into my new job and will write more later on the Sobia project and all it has to offer. I will make it into Ndola to Isubilo on Saturday if all transport works successfully. I can't wait to visit Orphan Street again -- Hannah wish you were here!!

OK, sun has set, must run. I'll write soon. love to hear from you!

Love, Tracey xox

Thank you for your kind words

I just want to take a moment to thank everyone for their wonderful support. Your emails are very much appreciated, thank you.
This last week has been busy preparing to pack up my things and leave Oakville, sell my car plus start packing my bags for my trip to Africa.

Hannah dropped by today to help -- wish you were coming with me again, my friend! See photo from our May, 2005 trip.
Thanks for the fabulous seabass dinner tonight, Mom! I'm enjoying fish as much as I can.

I'm away until August 13th and won't be picking up emails until that time. My new email address is traceyrandall07@gmail.com
Cell # the same, home phone disconnected.
Happy Summer everyone.
Go well, Tracey
