Thanks

Today I logged into the statistics and read that my blog has topped 7000 views.  I wish to thank each of you visitors.  You live in all parts of the world.  Obviously there are many people who are not self-absorbed and who are interested in Peace Corps and/or Zambia.   The 3rd goal of Peace Corps is to bring our host countries back home. This is why I write about what I have experienced and learned on this incredible journey.

If you are a regular visitor, you now have the option to subscribe to e-mail notifications of the blog post.  This can save you time and trouble of checking for new postings.

If you are new, I would like to explain that this is not a journal.  The posts are topical.  You can expand the side bar and click on titles of interest to you.

I have one more year of active blogging.  During this time I will be in the capital of Lusaka, so I will have more access to blogging but my view will be urban, not rural.  

Since 48% of the population lives in towns and cities, Zambia is touted as the most urbanized country of Africa.  This surprised me because I stayed so rural for 2 years and hope to represent that world view in my new work.  However, there will be new discoveries.....
