Where are we going? Yes that is the question. We have been in the Congo for almost a year, and we just found out where we are going next. (We will most likely only spend 2 years in every place we go? Instead of telling you everybody where we are going flat out I thought I would make you guess. I will give you all clues, and then next week, or maybe sooner I will tell you where we are going. (My clues should give it away.) If you think you can be honest, only read as as little as you can before you guess, and when you post your answer you can tell me at what question did you guess.
Clues
1. They had a presidential Election in the last year.
2. The population of the country is 12,382,920.

16. The Zambezi is a river on its border.
17. It's inflation is around 2,200,000%.
I think that is enough clues. Let's see who can guess it the quickest. Also anyone, and I mean anyone is welcome to come visit us. We will most likely have a guest bedroom and swimming pool at our house. It might be a little expensive getting there, but it will be free room and board when you get there. Also we will take you on a Safari and take you to see the other sites in the country.

I didn't take an African lit class for nothing... it is Zimbabwe! (sp?) Scott also took a class his last semester where he had to choose which African country he would live in and we had fun looking at the different aspects of different countries.
:)
Oh it has to be Zambawii (spelling probably wrong but you get the idea!
I can't believe you're going to Zimbabwe...I got it at the flag.
Zimbabwe!! WOW, you guys are just in for adventure!! Sounds fun! Flag gave it away.
utah?
I figured Zimbabwe. I figured it out after the first couple of questions, but thats cos I checked and googled it!! but wow how exciting. you will definitly have share your stories.
sarah.
I guess Zimbabwe and I got that before I even read the first question because I have a twin thing going on. I have been dreamming about Zimbabwe, safaris, and some guy named Robert Mugabe who is really mean for weeks. I hope you guys have good mosquito nets because I hear they have huge mosquitos
Of course anyone who is up on world affairs figured it out with the first few questions. It's funny that about 3 weeks ago the travel section in the newspaper had an article about Victoria Falls. I should have saved it. We will start the long process of planning a trip there to visit.
