Day five.

Dad was up and going. Blessings (my cousin) promised to show dad around the village in the morning. Maybe he was excited about that or something but he was ready to go. I finally rolled out of bed and helped him start organizing a bit. I also called Blessings over to whisk my dad away on their adventure.

 After they left, mom, Oscar and I hightailed it into action. We sorted out all the bags mom brought. We cleaned the house. We put away all the extra bed stuff. I cleaned the kitchen and made a snacks bag. We were packed and ready to go when dad got back. He was in good spirits. As he was walking up, dad was telling the story of The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe. They went everywhere. It was perfect. Just what the doctor ordered. Blessings lost the soul of his shoe as they were walking. When they reached home, dad took off his shoes and gave them to Blessings. 

We took a few pictures. We said our goodbyes and headed to the Mukula's for lunch. Madam Mukula was very ready for us when we reached. Mom (American mom) made the nshima and we started eating. Dad's hands love nshima. I don't know why it sticks so bad to him but we sat and made fun of how un-African he is.  As soon as lunch was over, it was time to head back to Lusaka for a night. We thanked Madam Mukula and headed out. We desperately needed to stop in Kapiri to fill up with gas, oil, air and ice cream.  Oscar had been talking about the ice cream for days. 

After that pit stop we only had one hiccup of a ticket and we reached Lusaka. We went straight to get food for the hangry. I took them to a PCV favorite spot and got Mint. We went back to the hotel after and crashed. Oscar and I only crashed for a little because we promised Adam that we would go clubbing with him. At midnight we found ourselves at Hollywood. Oscar was still tired. He was just enjoying sitting and listening to the music. I was surprised to find lots of PCVs there and ended up dancing and catching up with them.
