Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe

Jamaica is huge in Zimbabwe and Bob Marley's song Zimbabwe is a big part of that fact. Every time he saw me he would greet me with the ultimate Jamaican greeting: "Wa'a gwan?" I liked him a lot. He was trying to sell me something but never, ever pushed, never the hard sell that you find in Maputo, Mozambique. Finally, it was I who hunted him down to get the two pieces of sculpture. The day I left for Bulawayo, a major city south of Victoria Falls. If memory serves, a 12-hour train ride, arriving around 8 AM.
