We have quickly come to realize that life in Gaborone is very different than life in the United States. One of our biggest struggles has been the way business is conducted. However, after a few days, we are gaining more familiarity with business customs in Botswana. Much to our delight, the local food is both tasty and affordable. Finally, the country itself is very unique with natural resources that we have been able to enjoy.
Football
While "football" has a different meaning in the United States than it does in the United Kingdom, both countries are just as passionate about their sports. The people we chat with in the UK will often point out that we call "football" soccer and don’t know much about the real football. They will, however, speak positively of Tim Howard, who played in the Premier League and was one of the best goalkeepers from the United States.
Our Sunday started with the chirp of wild birds and some frogs still croaking. It was a beautiful morning in our tiny hut in the middle of the jungle, and we were ready for a full-day game drive. After a long seven-hour drive, we reached our weekend safari trip destination to see the big five (aka the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo)! Below is a photo of us on a break from our car drive.
Who would have thought that we would get a chance to relish the incomparable scenic beauty of Loch Ness, a large deep freshwater lake in the Scottish Highlands? Of course, we found Nessie- the Loch Ness Monster:) and a popular figure in folklore. No matter how high a resolution camera you use to take photos of this unique landscape, the photos cannot justify the views that a human eye can see.
