One great deal nearby is the Gaborone Botanical garden, within a mile or so of our apartment. It is a very nice place. The grounds aren't too big, but it has a little museum, and of course lots and lots of plants and trees. We saw a francolin (spurfowl-- a bird like a dark-colored grouse) and heard it calling. We saw some nice, new, interesting plants.

I hate to keep bringing this up, but I am amazed at the tremedous variety that G^d put into the world. Too me this is a LOT of work. I would have made like a ahlf-dozen trees then quit. I'd have made a half-dozen antelope, one mongoose, a few different birds.
BUT, one of the key realizations we ought to make is that G^d is NOT like us. G^d isn't just a little smarter, a little more powerful, a little more creative. G^d and me, have little in common. Were it not for being made in His image, and were it not for Jesus, I'd have NOTHING in common with G^d.
G^d is wholly different from us. I used to think I could understand G^d. I am happy to say, I have figured out this is NOT going to happen.
And that's good to know.
