Day 4

     After my heavy meal the the night before I needed to go to the gym in my new hotel at Arcades, called Protea Hotel for $188, and run for awhile before going to bed so I slept a little late this morning. After getting up around eleven o'clock I decided to head to the National Museum which was fairly close to my hotel. All I got to see on my short trip there was a few of the buildings in the shopping center and the city, I was already missing the forests I could see at my previous hotel. Upon my arrival I was charged a $2 fee and directed to the highlights of the museum, some Zambian contemporary paintings and sculptures. On the lower level of the museum I saw displays that some describe as a snapshot of Zambia's past and present. On the upper floor there were several exhibits of cultural, ethnographically and archaeological discoveries and displays. Finally I came back to easily the most interesting exhibit in the museum, the witchcraft display. In this display I saw things you would not see or hear about anywhere else in Zambia.
