Day two - Victoria Falls
The really loud noise that sounded like a human screaming was - baboons! They were all over the property, coming and going as they pleased.
Next we saw Victoria Falls. If you listen closely, you could probably hear it far away. Zambians call the falls Mosi-O-Tunya, which means "the smoke that thunders". This has to do with the mist that rises and can be seen from miles away.
The falls come down into the gorge and the mist that rises makes it feel like it is raining from below. We got soaked! Here is a picture of Evan pretending to jump in at the top of the falls.
What a magnificent experience! Tune in to the next blog to see what we did on day 3.

I've read that there is a moonbow visible at Victoria Falls. In other words, a rainbow at night or lunar rainbow. Did you all get a chance to see that. We saw it at Cumberland Falls when we lived in Kentucky.
John and Kathy - the park is closed at night. I would have loved to see your moonbow. By the way, congratulations on your new baby!
Noel, thank you so much for sharing your adventures, away and everyday. Loveumore! Shannon
