Normally we see cows on the side of the road grazing. These cows crossed the road, and then decided to go back to the other side. They walked right in front of us. It was a funny sight. The cows that stopped traffic.
A Botswana Defence Force vehicle. (No, I didn't misspell 'Defence'. Here, that's the way it is spelled.) This isn't a common sight around town! This is called an ASV (Armored Support Vehicle). The President of Malawi was in Gaborone today. I think these soldiers were headed back to base, or to set up at another location for security.
What do I want you to see here, you may be wondering? The sidewalk. All over Gabs the sidewalks are (usually) bricked - especially those along the roadside. Labor intensive work indeed. However, when underground repairs are needed to water/sewage lines and such, the workers just pull up the bricks (and reuse them) rather than busting up and repaving. Clever.
Until next time!
The cows are hilarious! Guess what stopped traffic on I-40?? PIGS! They escaped from a truck and the local police had to load them into their squad car and wait for animal rescue. As one of my friends said.." Morning traffic was HAM-pered" :D
