The news we've all been waiting for: I'm going to see Harry Potter TOMORROW!!!! So, hah, Laura. I still don't understand why it comes out in southern Africa (INCLUDING Botswana) two days before it comes out in the UK and US but it's fine with me! A bunch of us are going to the only mall at which it's showing tomorrow, so we'll see it before we head out for a second long-weekend trip on Thursday. This time we're going to Mbabane in Swaziland and Maputo in Mozambique for a total of six days. I'm not expecting anything quite as epic as gorge-swinging but I'm still really looking forward to traveling with the Gabbers Crew again.
Over the last week, Rugby-Sarah and I have had a really cool opportunity to get some insight into the work of Dr. Ava Avalos, a Ministry of Health doctor who specializes in HIV/AIDS. The initial taskforce meeting at the Ministry to which she invited us was really interesting for me because it gave me some ideas for how a humanities and social sciences person can get involved in the public health side of international development. Now, Sarah and I are helping to do some preliminary planning for a conference on HIV/AIDS in November - it's been a totally unexpected way to get to learn about another aspect of Botswana.
Went horseriding on the weekend! I can't even remember the last time I went riding but it was great!
