I am sitting here in my office because there’s no electricity in my house. Yes, I did pay the power bill, but as I’ve mentioned before, we have rolling blackouts, water rationing, and a host of other “Third World” problems you don’t typically think about. Since all the blog posts I would normally write now have pictures associated with them and I didn’t bring my camera with me to download those pictures, I am forced to consider another alternative for today’s post.
I always get random questions from people asking me about daily life: What do you eat? Or what do you miss? Or, are there working toilets in the bathrooms or is it just a hole in the ground? I think I will save all of those for another day, but today I am going to share with you some pictures I took over the last six weeks that I haven’t posted previously.
Here in Botswana we have medical services. So don’t worry Mom! Here is an ambulance:
We also have bouncy castles, and clowns:
We have very scary thorn bushes which are especially scary when you are riding your bike. I’ve had a couple of close calls, but thankfully I’ve hadn’t had to test out the ambulance… yet:
We have dinner, err, I mean, pets. This is Bob. He is a neighbor’s pet, but chances are he will be dinner sometime in the near future. If I have the pleasure of cooking Bob I will let you know:
And we have kids. I actually do NOT know these children. But I find that any time I take out my camera kids come running up to me and asking me to take their picture. They don’t want a picture WITH me like when I was in China, they just want me to take their picture. So, I guess in that case we have aspiring celebrities practicing for the future paparazzi that will follow them around:
