Here's the first set of pictures from the flight to Gaborone.

The last night was an interesting introduction to Botswana, as around 3 am the two other students from Penn knocked on our door--they were passengers in a van that was struck by a car; one had a split eyelid, the other a split ankle. So, we visited a "private" Gaborone hospital, where one of them got stitches for his eye, and then assisted the other guy stitching his own ankle until 6 am in our flat. I hope today will be a little bit less eventful....
Which it was, luckily. We had a brief orientation to working at the Princess Marina Hospital today, got food shopping done, etc. The apartments are dormitory-like, but very nice.

Tomorrow morning, I will be starting at the hospital.
