Market Day

Today we went to the market and walked around Choma to get more acquainted with the city. We bought a chitenge which is a piece of cloth that the Zambian women use to carry their children on their back, carry food, wear as a skirt, or use as a blanket. It's the thing to have around here - so finally we are a part of the culture and are in style!! It was a fun experience but very overwhelming at the same time. Image a group of eight white Americans walking through a huge street full of Africans - especially a blonde. We stuck out! Regardless, it was a great experience and it opened my eyes to the Zambian culture and way of life in a very real way!
