Livingstone, Zambia (April 21-23)

The Zambezi River crossing from Botswana to Zambia. To get to Livingstone, I flew into Kasane (Botswana), bussed it to the border (about 25 minutes), caught a ferry to across the river from Botswana to Zambia, and then got transport to Livingstone (about 50 minutes).

Medical students on safari in Africa! This picture was taken as we were doing a walking safari at one of the game parks in Zambia. We saw tons of animals, including giraffe, an enormous herd of trumpeting elephants, zebras, antelopes, gigantic spiders, and lots of birds. From left to right: Brent, Becky, Lyen, Arghavan, me, Tina. Becky and Lyen are medical students at Stanford now working on their masters in public health at the University of Cape Town. Brent and Arghavan are medical students at Stanford and will be going into medicine at UCSF and surgery at Stanford for their residencies next year. Tina is a medical student and will be going to Chicago to do her medical residency in medicine next year. And me, well, I'm just a lost soul in Botswana.
