This is our new kitten - Mouwane. In Setswana, Mouwane means cloudy or overcast. Batswana people give names that mean something or names that remind them of what is going on at the time. The day we got Mouwane, it was cloudy and the worker at the SPCA helped us choose a name.

There are many of these shacks on the sides of the roads in both the cities and villages. This one offers haircuts, but you can also buy fruits and vegetables, buy more minutes for your cell phone or get your phone repaired, in Palapye you can even have your passport photo taken in one of these!

Our fierce protectors - Nina and Jabu - they guard our property.
