Above, Mom, Bonnie and George pose with my koko (grand mother) and a neighbor, who had come over to demand they leave me in the village when they go back to America. Below Mom, Bonnie and George with my host parents, Japhta and Susan, and little Tshoga.















Here's the whole fam!















While staying in the village we met with the girls camp. Because it was such a special occassion we allowed boys to also attend. Mom brought visor kits. They loved making them, and I saw bedecked visors floating around the village on the heads of all sorts of people for weeks afterwards.















Below my host brother, Poopo, the chess champion, sports his fashion creation.















We visited the rare cycad forests, and had plenty of time to take them in after I locked the keys in the trunk of the rental car! I blame deculturalization (a term I made up for the occasion). Fortunately George made some calls, and a Afrikaaner in very short shorts came and rescued us!
