natural zambian viagra
We were taken around for a food/cultural tour of Zambia today by this awesome guide, Kennedy. We walked around the local market with thousands of Kwatcha (Zambian money that’s 4,500 to the US$1) picking out and paying for ingredients. This included handfuls on handfuls of these tiny dried sardine-like fish. We were literally the only tourists.
Bought meters of BEAUTIFUL printed fabrics and were shown how to correctly tie them around your waste like true Zambian women. We then picked out a chicken, carried it around the market by its wings for a bit, tossed it in the back of the car and headed back to town to watch it’s head get cut off. Its bodiless eyes really did keep blinking and its headless body actually kept flapping around. I knew that was coming, but watching it in person for the first time is really bizarre. We then helped cook a feast of totally traditional Zambian foods. Kennedy told us a bit about Zambian politics (read: corruption), and, for those interested, that ground nuts (peanuts) are thought to make men “more reproductive.” Ate a lot of pap (like grits), which is what you use to scoop up the other food. Definitely no utensils were allowed. Chicken was too tough for me, but the roasted ground nuts made everything taste delish.
It was our last night with Julie, who left to meet her parents at Kruger, so we ended the night by splurging at a beautiful hotel on drinks and a fancy dinner. We watched the sunset sipping on cocktails, ate amazing duo of crocodile, and had long and wonderful bonding conversations.
