25th Birthday!

On my birthday weekend me and most of the team took a 7+ hours bus trip down to Livingstone, Zambia. Home to Victoria Falls one of the 7wonders of the world! It's dry season right now so the falls weren't very powerful, but they were still so cool! I can imagine how majestic they would be during rainy season!

In this picture, i'm standing in Zambia, but those falls are in Zimbabwe. 

Normally all of those cliffs would actually be falls...

there were loads of baboon families, we actually got chased by a baboon daddy. Don't mess.

In the afternoon, one of the guides showed us how to get to the top of the falls. We got to go up and stand on the top of the cliffs, where there is normally torrents of rushing water. It was so awesome. This is a little natural jacuzzi according to the guide. It's basically just a trickle of water thats still flowing over the falls. So yes, that is the edge of the largest curtain of water in the world. 

The coolest part to me is that the day that we saw Victoria Falls was the same day that David Livingstone first saw the falls also, only 158years later =D He was a  medical missionary from Scotland that commited his life to Africa. Livingstone is named for him. Such a cool story. 

Well you would think that was enough fun fow one day... but no, it did not end there! We ended the day with a spectacular dinner cruise on the Zambezi river. We saw tons of Hippos, crocs, and even an elephant! All as we ate our delicous BBQ dinner.

Thank you so much Momma for raising money for me to be able to go. I had such an incredible time!

Much love, Meghann
