I have been getting some requests for our address , in case anyone wants to send something here. We've had success through DHL receiving packages. It's expensive, but we're worth it. It's posted at the end of this post.
It takes about 10 days, I think. Michelle's dad sent a package to us, it arrived in Botswana in 7 days but sat in customs for 16 days after that. Here's where you should send it...
Attached is a video of Jacob and his classmates after a softball match receiving awards. It's a bit boring, but it was an enjoyable evening. As stated before, the sporting events are sooo much more relaxed and non competitive here. Puts things in perspective. No crazy parents screaming at umpires and yelling at their kids to get their heads out of their a**. I figured I'd pick up the slack, so I start yelling at everyone..... Jacob, his coach, the ump, the concession stand lady, no one was spared. I'll have photo stills of Jake in his throwback Chicago white Sox uniform in a day or 2.

Getting ready for our first excursion into the wild.. Tomorrow will be the last post for the weekend... We head to Pilanesburg National Park, South Africa on Saturday.. One of the biggest gatherings of animals in the country including all the major animals.... Lion, giraffes, rhino, water buffalo, antelopes, wild dogs, hyenas, etc. Should be fun.
Sorry.. here's the address to send anything. ... for some reason it was pasted here, and I can't move it... I'm too lazy to retype it.
