Botswana 2008

Well, after 12 hours of rest I feel much better. I forced myself to stay awake on the plane ride from Jo'Berg, South Africa to Dakar, Senegal. I then took a sleeping pill from Dakar to Atlanta and got about 5 hours of sleep. That made it easier to make it to 7pm EDT last night before hitting the hay. It was so good to sleep in my own bed and next to Tricia, I might add.

I got Tricia a great soapstone carving from the Gaborone market of a family. I told her it would look great on her desk at school and she agrees. Miles loves his Botswana national team soccer jersey and Botswana beanie. Dylan thinks it's so cool someone carved the baboon I got for him from the market. He got a beanie too. Tricia plans to slowly enjoy her Africa Amarula chocolates (adults only!) I have so much to say and tell about our short week in Gaborone and I will be using this space to detail some of the work and challenges. Again, thank you to everyone who supported us back home in so many ways, I can never thank you enough. But for now, I have a puppy dog is who is SO ready for a walk, so I have to go. But, in the duration, enjoy these pictures...
