The Doctor Is In

After a lovely tour around Makotse and then a nice lunch at Galito's (a chain chicken place) in the Lebowakgomo taxi rank, Keri and I were off again. That night's stop? BDTJF, aka Beautiful Downtown Jane Furse, home to Tom from Lincoln, Nebraska, who is working on his second tour with Peace Corps. BDTJF is quite the happenin' place... lots of activity, lots of people, lots of taxis, and they just got a new Barcelo's (a chain chicken restaurant).
Good ol' Tom. What a fantastic host! We got a brief tour of his office, met all of his coworkers, and spent a nice evening talking, making supper, and catching up on our TV watching. It was really good to see his site, home, and office... nice to get a chance to talk to him and find out more about his life before Peace Corps.
Here's Tom at his desk in the room he managed to clear out and make into an office.
And here we are, posing and squinting in the sun, in front of his NGO's sign.
And, yes, our wonderful host provided us with a pretty wonderful, relaxing evening. Here we are in front of the TV chowin' down on baked beans, grilled cheese, salad, and corn on the cob!
Thanks for being such a good host, for always making me laugh, "getting it", working hard and making it through your service with grace, Kamogelo.. you, too, have made forever made a difference in your community and have had a profound affect on me.
