Pictures

My friends and I climbing Kgale Hill, the highest point in Gaborone We had a great view of the city from the top. It took three-four hours to climb up and down it.

We were welcomed to the Cultural Village where we stayed for a night by elder women dancing and singing.

The night of Obama's Inauguration!

After a lecture on traditional leadership in Botswana

This is the gallery at Botswana Craft. All the baskets are handmade. The smaller ones take one to three months to weave and the larger ones on the floor can take up to a year. There are framed photos of the women who weave the baskets.




When we arrived at the Maun airport, there were safari trucks waiting for us that drove us to the game reserve.

Zebras we saw on one of our daily game drives

  2. Everything looks awesome! Question: did you get a camel toe in that skydive jumpsuit because that is all I could think about....maybe I am in Vagina MOnologues world.

    Also, you can feel free to bring me back some of that wine.
