Pictures Say it best

Greetings all.  I'm in an internet café in Livingston, Zambia, which
is located on the Zambian side of Victoria Falls. We arrived here on
Saturday, and have had two rest days. Sunday, I just sort of bummed
around town and bought some little souvenirs, and then went to the
Falls, which is amazing. It is about twice the size of Niagara Falls,
and the amount water that flows through there is unbillilable. The
fact that water is such a precious commodity during the trip, and
always having to conserve water, made the sight of the falls even more
magnificent.

Today I took a motorized handglider over the falls. After the
handglider trip, the sequence of the next two events was not ideal:
1) First went to the Zambezi Sun (a posh hotel) for an all you can eat
breakfast, 2) then went to the bridge over the Zambezi River (which
divides Zambia and Zimbabwe) and bungee jumped off of the third
highest bungee jump in the world. Pics attached. BTW, if you are
wondering why I'm wearing my cycling helmet, it's 'cause I borrowed a
friend's helmet cam for the jump. Footage is wild.

Pics attached—Enjoy!

Thanks again for all of your support and to everyone who has donated
to Charity Water. If you have not yet donated please do so from

Catch you in Botswana – Goose – over.
