OT, the guide, taken…

OT, the guide, taken from my seat just behind him in the truck. We had a lot of fun the whole trip and every day I learned a new expression in Tswana, the language of Botswana. I’ll write the expressions at the end of this journal.

We had a lot of fun together, but for him this was a serious job with serious consequences and he was always on the alert, watching that everyone was together (guests wandering off seemed his biggest concern), keeping the truck running, keeping to the schedule, making sure the camp was all set up and safe – he was working from before everyone got up until after everyone went to bed, cheerfully and with a comforting maturity.
