Landed in Botswana this afternoon after almost 3 days of travel. Luckily no flights were missed and my luggage came without any problems as well. I was a little worried that something was going to go wrong, but it didn't. I am really tired right now so forgive me if I stop making sense. I got a chance to fly on one of the huge new Airbus plane and then jumped on a little propeller plane for my next flight - definitely a change. Managed to get some sleep on the Airbus as it was not booked and I happened to get a row to myself. And I have to say Air France definitely puts more into their food than American carriers.
Impressions in Botswana thus far. Hot. And humid. Reminding me of my time in India just because of that along with the well worn dirt pedestrian paths along the roads. Maybe that's way I sort of feel at home and was brave enough to wander aimlessly hoping to find a grocery store tonight. (accomplished the task as well which is why you are hearing from me). So far I have met the driver for the center and he brought me to an ATM and to a fast food restaurant of sorts before dropping me off in an empty house. There is another participant living there but she's on vacation right now and so its just me. I start "work" tomorrow. I think its just going to be a bunch of orientation and culture shock.
By the way today is International AIDS day - show your support in any way you can back home.
