Hey everybody, it's our last day of work today. So someone posted our blog on digg.com. I've never heard of digg which according to Portia makes me out of the loop. I should be used to this by now I guess. It was posted by cottonsheep, who I also don't know. At least I don't think I know someone named cottonsheep. Maybe I do, who knows. A day of new things I guess. So if you are cottonsheep and I know you let me know who you are and if I don't know you, hello, nice to meet you.
The guys should be nearing Jo'burg now. Their flight was a little delayed but they should make it in plenty of time. We'll be picking them up from the airport. Then we start our week of vacation. We, in theory, are climbing Kgale hill this afternoon. I say in theory because let's face it, it has been really really hot the last few days and it doesn't get cooler until after the sun goes down (not the safest time to climb the side of the mountain). We may start and collapse on the side of the hill and never get up again. And I'm pretty sure that Tim or Paul (i think his name is Paul) or which ever taxi driver we use will not exert much energy to come and find us. By the way, I love the fact that I am in a country where you are walking around somewhere and a stranger comes up to you and says "do you need a ride" and you get in his car. Just like that. Oh well, it's worked so far.
Tomorrow we get up ridiculously early and drive to Maun. Which is very far away and will be a very long drive. Luckily there is a rhino sanctuary along the way and since in Kruger I only saw a rhino for .2 seconds before it turned it's butt to me and walked away, I think we should stop. We'll stay in Maun for the night then fly to Kwara camp in the delta where it is 2 days of game viewing in croc and hippo infested waters (at least that's what I keep telling Portia). Next, we head to Chobe where we will be staying at the garden lodge for 3 nights. One of those days we will head to Zambia to see Victoria Falls. Should be a good time. I don't think we will have internet access so most likely further updates will be once we get home.
More things you can't get in Botswana:
IO set ups
A maid who doesn't eat all your bread
Real Snickers (it says Snickers on the package but doesn't taste like Snickers) - Snickers is kind of a fun word.
All mexican food products - they say they are here but they are lying.
More later - Becca

Hey Becca! I thought had better write something on here before you all hop on a plane and come home! School has started again, but I don't have my first exam for a couple of weeks yet. It's hard getting bach in the studying mode, but I'm trying to adjust again (notice that I'm dragging this comment out as long as possible so as to avoid getting back to the books). It looks like you guys are having a good time. I love the pictures and I'm so jealous you got to pet a cheetah. I could have gone to Africa this summer and done that too, but your brother seems to think it's too dangerous for me to go to Africa, not to mention the $5,000 to get there and participate in the program. Oh well. I'll just have to settle for you telling me all about your adventures! I did some scrapbooking over break and while it's not up to par with your stuff I still think you will be proud. Hopefully we can come to Houston sometime soon and I can show you!
