News update

fishing for dinner

Sorry for the delay... this week once again has been pretty busy harvesting bananas on the farm. No big spider spotting in awhile, but have encountered frogs, chameleons, huge wasps, lots of tiny spiders all in the banana branches.  Still researching and figuring out better farming techniques for the farm.  This is their second year in production with the 4 acre plot they have so far... the biggest hardship for banana farming is not allowing the bananas to bruise throughout the harvesting/packaging process.  Bananas are pretty much the most sensitive fruit there is... even one dent to them in the early stages will cause them to bruise.  I cant believe that the bananas in california/us (which mostly come if not all from south america and take about two weeks of distribution) are perfectly yellow.

Last weekend consisted of going fishing at a couple ponds outside the city with a worker from Northrise and his buddy.  We actually caught some fish, but they were not big to be proud of or to even eat, but it was an enjoyable excursion.  After fishing, we cruised to the Ndola boating club and saw New Zealand beat South Africa in the Absa Currie Rugby Cup qualifier.   


just booked my flight down to Livingston next week to check out Victoria Falls and going on a one day safari at chobe national park with President moffat.  maybe get a bungee jump adventure off the victoria falls bridge!













miss you all!
