dumelang bomma le borra! i'm having a hard time focusing on anything but the thought of holding my little nephew... but i'll do my best.
last night we were blessed with some pula and had a little thunderstorm. it made me nostalgic for the intensity of east coast thunderstorms, especially the ones in celo, north carolina. thanks to the pounding of the rain, i had no trouble getting to sleep last night.
i think i drink about an average of 4 cups of tea a day, actually, i'm underestimating because its only 4pm and i've had 3 cups today. the US definitely needs to jump on the tea time break bandwagon...
tomorrow i leave for the north. i take a night train to francistown, arrive at 6 in the morning, catch a bus at 10 and arrive in kasane sometime friday afternoon (some say the trip is 6 hours, others say more because of the potholes and because botswana time works, well, differently). i have a feeling i'll be out of reading material by the end of this trip. once in kasane, we're supposed to stay with this woman named wame, who is arranging our day trip to victoria falls. she drives us to the zimbabwe border, someone else picks us up. we're planning on bringing some goods for bartering, like soap and food, considering zimbabweans don't use their own currency. crazy, huh? after vic falls, we'll either spend sunday in kasane or head back to francistown for the night. we'll see where life takes us...
today at s.o.s. was better than yesterday... quite frankly I think the little ones had used up all their energy fighting each other the day before. little laone is doing better, too. yesterday he was our special assistant, helping to hold up the picture books, pass out materials and collect plates... he found every little chore fun (i even caught him scolding his classmates for not listening and misbehaving...) he is absolutely glowing from the attention. goodness, i wish i could take him home with me.
alright, that's all the focus i've got in me right now. its far to sunny outside to be on the computer, anyways.
besos!
