And Don’t Miss Our Lovely Cesspool

Following a link from How Appealing, I ended up at a page created by the Botswana Department of Tourism listing the major attractions of Lobatse.  It seems innocuous enough with a picture of the downtown and picture of the High Court building (which is pretty nice, but looks a little like they’re holding court under a bridge).  The last item, though, is the Botswana Meat Commission, which runs the main abattoir for the country and a packing and canning plant.  Is this some strange form of anti-eco-tourism?  I like going to markets in far away places, but, personally, I draw the line at slaughterhouses.

Home Sweet Home

Still not entirely sure what day it is, but, as of 11:00 last night, local time, we’re home. It was a fabulous trip, about which more will be said once I know which end is up. Increased security made our connection in LA a bit tense, but everything went fine.

This coming week, I have some transition time with the clerk I’m replacing, and then the clerkship starts on the 21st.

Most of the time, the bar exam is now a pretty dim memory, which is, I suppose, the purpose of a bar trip. More to come in the next few days.
