To Lusaka

We made it here in good time, even though it took us four hitches from
chipata. We even abandoned one lift at a checkpoint when it became
obvious our whiteness had emboldened some cops in their shakedown of
our driver.

Even so we got here faster and easier than by bus, and were the first
customers at the indian place down the road from the folks We're
staying with. We had to restrain ourselves from eating the entire
Chutney tray. We counted (and petted) seven cats out front.
