I have arrived in Gaborone ("Gabs") and we're all staying in a hotel/conference area just outside the city. I've spent the last 3 days getting oriented to being in Botswana - learning a bit of Setswana (the language, but most speak English too), drinking lots of unbottled water, and everything else. The group is starting to bond nicely, sharing the mutual 22 hour flight goes a long way towards that end. Today we've taken a field trip into the center of the city, specifically the Main Mall, which has a lot of vendors, shops, restaurants, and internet cafes. Not a whole lot ot report on yet, but I'm moving on to my village stay tomorrow and that should provide a lot of exciting experiences and stories. Hope all is well States-side. That's all for now. I'm going to grab a bite to eat and maybe buy a cheap watch.
Go Siame.
