It's been a couple of days since I last updated, so I'll try and remember what happended over the weekend.

Last Friday turned out to be a very enjoyable day spent with Ethelene at the Mokolodi Nature Reserve right outside of Gaborone. We went on a little mini safari, and were lucky enough to see some kudu, impala, wildebeasts, warthogs, ostriches, giraffes and cheetahs! We were sad to see Ethelene go, but we had a wonderful time with her and it was nice that it provided a much needed break from our routine, just in time to refresh us for our last two weeks here!

It's hard to believe that we're getting ready to leave Moleps next week already. Just as I was really getting used to things. The library staff was chatting today about what they were going to do for us before we leave, and I tried to discourage any gifts. Still, the taller cleaning lady (still never got her name, I'm so bad) gave us each a wooden statue today, which was very, very sweet and unnecessary. Rachel and I are thinking that getting the staff some chairs for the break trailer and some tea and sugar might be a good farwell present.

We still haven't solidified our travel plans for the north. We've gone full circle after trying to find affordable alternatives (which don't really exist, it being the high season) and are now back to forking over our money for the whole tour of Vic Falls, Chobe and the Okavango.

At work we are finishing up our projects, like writing the analysis and report for our user survey. I've also started making some notes/outlines for my final reflection.
