I went back to the bridge today to pick up the DVD of my jump. To do this, we had to cross the border post again. When we came back into Zambia, a lady at the gate stopped us to pour some kind of strange brown liquid on our hands. I asked her why and what it was for, and she looked at me as if I was crazy and said, "it's a chemical...it's for the cholera."
It's so easy to forget sometimes that just across that bridge, in that beautiful, green lush country...there is absolute hell breaking loose. The shitty ecomony, the insane inflation, hunger and thirst, and most recently, the cholera epidemic.
It was a pretty humbling moment.
