Happy St. Patrick's Day

This weekend, the Wild Geese Society of Zambia held it's annual St. Patrick's Day Ball. We had a small pre-party at our house and decided to hail a mini-bus for transport to the event. As you can see below, we arrived in style. It was my first mini-bus experience. While it was cheap and effective, it also scared the hell out of me. The bus kept jumping out of gear and had the slowest pick-up of any vehicle ever. Enjoy.

It's about time...

I know it has been over 2 months since I last posted on here, but not much has happened. I spent most of January in the States visiting family. Work is going well. Since I can't watch American Football, Baseball or Basketball over here with any regularity and I don't really like Soccer, I have started watching Rugby. I did get to see the Super Bowl. It was great to see Peyton win the big one. Now maybe Jimmy will shut-up. Jimmy, he won a title, so you can't bad mouth him anymore. I can't wait for Baseball season. The Braves finally have some pitching. Maybe they will start another streak this season. Anyway, on the the pictures...
As some of you may know, my birthday was this past weekend, so my housemates and I threw a party. Glenn, the guy on the left shares my birthday, and Luc, the guy in the middle, has a birthday on the 7th, so the party was for all 3 of us. Yes, I was able to obtain a case of Bud Light over here. It's rare, but I figured for my birthday, why not.
A small group of us had dinner at the house before the party started. Here are a few of the guests just after dinner.
There was also a lunar eclipse from about Midnight until 2 AM. It gave the party a nice atmosphere.
Here's Nancy giving Mosi some style pointers. Doesn't she look cool?
Finally, I'd be remiss if I didn't post a picture of Mlenje on here. This picture was taken when I got back from the States at the end of January.

I'll try to post more frequently.
