Blowing Off Steam

BY CYNDI GREENING, LUSAKA, ZAMBIA – After an incredibly long, hard week, the crew got some good downtime this weekend. In addition to going to a fun restaurant and Congolese dance club, they got to go shopping on Sunday at a street market. They bought gifts for themselves and others. With a film crew, there is just no way to escape cameras. So, it was no surprise that our bus ride was spent getting fisheye photographs of everyone. It was silly. I think it was the most relaxed I've seen the crew since we left Phoenix Sky Harbor. They were tense when we left and anxious to do a good job all week so the stress level was high. It was good to see them laughing and playing around.

I am glad you guys are having so much fun! I hope the filming will be a great success. Reading through your experiences of your stay in Zambia makes me get to know a few things about my country and its people that I either take for granted or pay no attention too. But am happy that you are enjoying your stay and that you will have alot to tell your friends and family back home! Enjoy yourselves.
