Maun
Erik:
Today we rode into Maun by car. Got a local tour. It was good.
Steph:
Despite Erik's inspirational and moving entry, I feel like I should add on to that.
We woke up this morning not really sure what to do. The brothers, however, knew exactly what to do. After a delicious breakfast, we climbed into their dad's American truck (I think it was a chevy) and they drove us to Maun. Maun is one of Botswana's bigger cities and the main tourist hub. A lot of safaris and tours start from here. It even has an AIRPORT! True story.
It was fun, we listened to classic rock the whole way there and the boys told us of their life plans. It's very exciting. They love having moved here and love Botswana and everything it has to offer. I love how they get along and call themselves best friends. We picked up their friend, Almay, who gave us a local tour of the town which ended with a milk shake and a dip in the pool. Very nice!
After a nap, some of their family friends came over. They're a family also from SA who are wanting to move to Botswana as well. We had a very long conversation about the direction that South Africa is currently going. Erik and I just ask questions and love hearing other people's opinions. Especially if they're from there.
Erik:
One of them got a bit toasty and started a very heated conversation about how SA is doomed. She became defensive saying that the USA isn't that great either. I had none of that.
Besides all that, a very restful and pleasant day.

| Louis and Jacques! Two super brothers who showed us around and were awesome hosts. |

| A Kalahari Ferrari! Say it out loud! |
