Update on the Goats

Remember the goats I saw grazing behind my house?

There was definitely not a kid with them, but two days later, I saw the big white gaot with this adorable little creature!

Termite Mound

Kind of scary that little termites made something big enough for me to live in!

Makes me reminisce on My Side of the Mountain ... I could live in a termite mound, right?

Swimming Pool!

The landlord is putting in a pool. It was entirely dug out by hand!

Don't worry, it will have a childproof fence around it.

This week they started laying all of the brick for the pool deck. I took pics with the BlackBerry but of course today I can't seem to be able to download them ... ironically, today I also received the charger for my Nikon camera that I ordered two weeks ago from Amazon. So at least I'm not camera-less!

Disguise

 p.s. Thanks, Mom, for sending the sunglasses. And yes, that's a knee-high pantyhose she picked up and draped over her shoulders.

Baby 4 Eyes

Cute moment in the Johannesburg airport on the way back from Asia. Those are my glasses ... which have since had an arm bent off in a not-so-cute moment. Live and learn: eyeglasses = great SUPERVISED distraction.

Gaborone Yacht Club

We went to the Gaborone Yacht Club to watch the sun set with friends. A completely relaxing, fun evening.

A hawk in a tree on the drive out.

I am not a huge "nature person" but I loved the peacefulness and feeling of being away from the city, so close to town.

I lost the battery charger to my little Nikon camera, so these were all taken point and shoot style, mostly while driving, with my new BlackBerry.  I'm pretty impressed by the quality!

Pick 'n' Pay, 10 Minutes Till Close

The workers were playing an impromptu game of futbol.
