Update on the Posh Life

Several of you have asked about the swimming that I have mentioned doing in Lusaka. The options for this include an expensive day pass to a fancy hotel, the local public Olympic size pool (never crowded, but not to clean), or my favorite option – the pool at the old Swedish school. I was able to get a cheap membership last March, and have been a regular visitor ever since. I’ve introduced several friends to this pool, including a new buddy from Seattle who took this photo of me. Yes – my legs are really that white! Shorts aren’t often appropriate in the local culture despite the heat, and I often swim in the late afternoon when the pool is already in the shade.
