Friday, November 4

Travel day today.  We packed it up and moved it out down the highway to Harare.  Picked up the sleepover girls, Dona Lou and Margaret Tagwira, at the Tagwira Farm and then drove to the Halfway Inn, had a quick lunch, and then completed the trip to the Holiday Inn at Harare.  We did have a quick restroom break at a casino -- but since Dona Lou thought we were stopping at a girls school we're going to go with that story!!

Checked in to the hotel and then spent a couple of hours recuperating, repacking and getting ready for dinner.  Dr. Tagwira met us at the hotel and then we went out to dinner at The Fishmonger Restaurant in the Avondale section of Harare.  We were joined by the Tagwira's daughter and son-in-law (both doctors) and another former student and her son.  Had a lovely dinner and then back to the hotel for bed.

We are off to Victoria Falls in the morning -- 7 a.m. flight so we are to report to the lobby at 5:30 a.m.  Not sure what sort of internet access we will have ... so we may not have a blog entry for a couple of days.  Don't worry -- we sort of move as a large, loud herd so anything untoward will probably make international headlines!!  And if we don't tell you about the naked bungee jumping you won't have to worry, right??
