Extended Thanksgiving Weekend

"Papa Keno" our fledgling papaya tree. 
Cutting down our Christmas Tree.

Stuffed roasted chickens with pumpkin.

Americans gathered from far and wide for our traditional Thanksgiving dinner. (From left to right: Anis from Mochudi, Dawn from Moshaneng, Peggy from Ghanzi, and Mara, our friend in Ramotswa)

6:30am: the beginning of the World AIDS Day festivities.

Meeting His Excellency the President Sir Seretse Khama Ian Khama at the DHMT tent at World AIDS Day

Mma Lesego with us, sporting the scandalous t-shirts gifted to us by "the condom coordinator".

  1. Great pictures. So cool that you got to meet the President, and also carry the banner in the parade. From the picture your Christmas tree looks like a young Shepherd's Tree (Boschia albitrunca) - great choice for Christmas!
    Love, Dad

  2. Wow, a Shepherd's tree seems fitting. All the goats and cows running around really do make a great nativity scene- maybe it is even more Christmas-y than snow!

  3. Love those t-shirts! The approach in Botswana seems to be very direct, as evidenced by this and Mr. SMC. It's great to see photos of your friends, too.
    Love,
    Mom
