Mervis welcomed us to Suwilanji Gardens (aka wedding central) with open arms. She smiled at us, laughed with us and sang to us. Mervis has the voice of an angel. She shares her humble two roomed home with her brother, two sisters and two cousins. Mervis takes care of them all. She is good at her job, along with Moses they run the hotel. Mervis works all hours of the day and night for $180 a month. We look forward to seeing her before we head for home.
We travelled to Mumbwa, down a long straight road built by the Chinese government. It was national heroes and unity day. La Hacienda, our home away from home, was hosting 'Miss National Heroes and Unity Day' that night. We rolled into town, shattered after our epic journey, just in time for the party to begin. Welcome to Zambia!
