They made it sound pretty hopeless. It doesn't sound like Mugabe is going to be giving up power any time soon--not without a fight. At least he's old--hopefully he's not one of those people who makes it past 100. I was just listening to a story about this on NPR this morning. They made it sound pretty hopeless.

It is an amazing country with amazing people, but the situation is pretty awful. I hope you will take advantage of traveling there despite all the news. We have a team over there right now doing medical missions in Harare (where I was). I also spent some time near Nyanga which was gorgeous---at a place called the Inn on the Ruparara. Amazing. There were still a decent number of tourists there in October. We stayed at the Meikles Hotel in Harare. I really wish I could have gotten over to Victoria Falls. I've been to both Zimbabwe and Zambia on separate trips and still haven't gotten over there!! I spent 3 weeks in Zimbabwe in October.
