We started the day with American-style worship (a real treat!) and brunch, then a large group of us headed off to town. Arcades is a large shopping center with a Sunday crafts fair. I heard the word “shopping,” so of course, it was a no-brainer for me! We had a ton of fun bargaining, sometimes more successfully than others, and I got some really cool jewelry and things to take home. Then we realized that Confessions of a Shopaholic was playing at the movie theater, so we forked over 24,000 kwacha (just under 5 bucks!) to forget that we were in Africa for two hours. Glorious!
After the movie, we ate dinner at a nice restaurant, then decided to head back to the seminary where we’re staying. Before we left, Kevin, the program director, had given us road names and some landmarks to tell a taxi driver how to get us back to the seminary, and that all the drivers would know where these places were. Unfortunately, Leopard’s Hill Cemetery and Twin Palms Road aren’t nearly as well-known as we thought they were. We had to ask 4 drivers (in the dark!) before we found one who knew the area we were going to, and even then the driver stopped for directions 3 times on the way home! The whole way back, I’m starting to get carsick, even in the dark! I’ve never been so glad to get back to a dorm in my life!
