We are here, we are here, we are here!
Well, to say it was a long strange trip would be a vast understatement, but the miracle is that we are indeed here in Botswana, and are healthy and seem to have all of our luggage intact. We are currently staying in a Hotel (Planet Lodge) quite a ways out of town, which makes accomplishing all the various things we need to do more complicated. Folks here are very lovely and friendly. At least in town, the landscape looks remarkably similar to Tucson. Except that, of course, the African daisies are native here! We are hoping to see our apartment tomorrow, which will be located about 1 km from the Campus, and if all goes well we will move in on Monday. Sorry to make this such a short post; gotta run now and may not have internet access again until tomorrow. Hope this finds you all well and happy.

ReplyDeleteHi Wylie:
ReplyDeleteWe'll be here until at least May 2011 unless we implode first. Jon is teaching at the Univ of Botswana. I am watching endless streams of bureaucracy and doing a bit of birdwatching in between. You should visit! (Well, if we ever get a place to live, that is.) :)
So exciting! I just sent you an e-mail last week asking when you'd be there! Ok, so May 2011....hmmm...better visit Botswana while you are still there! sometime Jan-April? Think you be be in your apt. by then? :) just kidding. Take care and enjoy every moment (mostly).
