DAY SEVEN.FIVE: Batting Clean-up on All the Photos not Heretofore Included

Must include all photos...actually there are 1000 so far...not going to happen.  Very tough to go back to reality after being at the happiest place on Earth.  But go back we did -- to Botswana!  L & W are extremely busy with mission life, yet they still made sure to keep us happy.  We picked up the car this day too.  Eventful. Very eventful.


Mamas chasing off the young bulls

Madeleine narrates the lion close-up.



Sam the man.  Don't want him to leave us!


Sitting area where the Hett kids learn "O Shucks" card game from the hands of the masters -- L & W.

Dining al fresco with hot cocoa.

Open air sleeping quarters -- complete with wee hours of the night visits from a leopard, fighting wildebeests and a civet (ugly!)

Hot water heater.  The donkey.


Out back in the bush.  There were electrified wires all around the camp, however, they were elephant height only.

The great indoors.


Sam's bachelor pad.



Mads at the campfire with Bart and Moses.  We were really missing the British Airways pilots, Chris and Simon and the older (80s) gentlemen from South Africa, Peter and William.  Peter was a main inventor of the synthetic diamond and good friends with Tracey Hall of BYU.

Water source.

Shower facilities.  May or may not have better water pressure than one of our showers back home and provides 5 full  minutes of hot water.

Open air toilet with water pitcher flush.  Surprising inoffensive.

Our bush camp whip.

Sam with Bart and Jonny -- so sad to be journeying on.
