We wanted to make a really special photo blog that would capture the really amazing, powerful, meaningful couple of weeks we experienced in Botswana. Seriously, it was amazing… but upon scanning our photos… it seems that it is more appropriate to do this photo blog. Here’s a glimpse into another part of our world. Before we went to Botswana we spent some time in Pretoria and Johannesburg: Normal Things: passing the time on a street corner, waiting for our ride Multitasking: we cleaned our pores and practiced driming to share the love of Jesus all at the same time. Please note what a Holy experience Lindsey is having. Several mornings in a row we practiced packing our bags and the car… only to unpack them and return to our cabins later in the morning. However, when the big day came we were ready… and we were on our way to Botswana. Upon arriving in Botswana we were surprised to discover that we weren’t living in the bush, but rather in a gorgeous guest house… And we got to drive a Benz… once. But it was really awesome. Danny even found a pair of bling bling Grandma glasses. The rest of the time we rode in the back of a pickup truck. It was really windy. We always looked exactly like this. Always. Except when we got bored… and started to pick on each other. Don’t be worried, Sarah only had minor wounds from her beating by the loaf… Colleen kissed it and made it all better The pickup took us to lots of interesting places… and got us in touch with our inner selves… Everywhere we went we met some really amazing people from Botswana: Meet Felix. There was always something to laugh about. We met some people with common interests… like the little mermaid… and head hugs. Some of us even found love… Looking Back… in Botswana we really got in touch with our African roots: After a rigourous tryout… Sarah made the South African rugby team… and then went into the past and won the world cup. She’s really good at rugby. Kyle did his best to blend in. He sprung for a precision haircut. Please observe the perfect 90 degree angle at his hairline… as the stlyist is applying Hair food… before he brushed the hair for no less than 10 minutes. Kyle makes this look goooooood. Kyle did his best but Lindsey actually became African… note the puffy sleeves and the sweet tambourine skills. We spent some time reflecting on the last 8 months of our lives, what the World race has meant to us, and how dreamy that George Clooney is. We’re back in South Africa for debrief now. We’ll be flying to Latin America on the 20th to start the last leg of our Journey. Don’t worry… we have plenty of memories to share… and even a few souvenirs for you lucky folks back home.
