Take 2 Bar.. take two!
Headed out to Odi again on Friday to drop off some photos to the patrons of "Take 2 Bar", as well as visit the Odi Weavers and place an order...
Due to the Wall Street problem, etc.. the dollar to pula has gone up.. When we got here, the dollar = 6 pula... now the dollara =8.. which is a great thing for us.. And if you feel the urge to visit South Africa, the dollar now = 10Rand.. It was = 7. So things look much more affordable... Almost a steal.
Well, it wasn't difficult to find all of the people who I had photos for, there were all there sitting in the exact same places they had been last week.. I did meet an older woman who was waiting for the combi... In one of the photos , you can see them hailing down the packed mini bus..
The place is absolutely great and everyone is very, very kind..
Jacob has headed out to Sun City in South Africa.. THe equivalent of Disney WOrld in South Africa.. He headed there with a friend and will be back on Sunday.. They have a casino for kids...What a great way to get little ones into a wonderful addiction like gambling.. I gave Jacob some money and told him if he didn't double the amount playing Black Jack, that he shouldn't come home...
It rained slightly last night as a huge storm passed through,(first time in 6 months) but with no real rainfall.. It was enough thunder and lightning to cancel the softball games..
It's late morning here, not sure what the plan is this afternoon.. Tonight we are meeting with friends for an evening game drive and picnic with the kids... Should be fun.. But it is about 600 degreees outside...
All for now, hope you like the photos..One of them is of the botswana currency, the Botswana Pula...Pula means Rain.
