After the 16 hour flight from New York to Johannesburg, my feet and ankles were very swollen. (They were a bit swollen when I left but now much worse). But I've been wearing compression socks, which is helping.
My room is shared with one OBGYN resident, and there are six of us total in the flat. There is a maid, named Doris, who cleans our rooms everyday, does our laundry, and even cooks for us some. She told me that she was my "new mom," even though Doris is younger than me by a few years.
After a quick nap, I went exploring the town, and was happy to find a grocery store nearby. When I saw the Dark and Lovely hair products, I knew that I was going to be just fine. I used to use this moisturizer exclusively, until I stopped being able to find it a couple of years ago. So you can only imagine my delight when I saw it on the shelf of the grocery store here in Gaborone for half the price.
One of the residents here has lived in Botswana before, and had a friend who hosted a Super Bowl Party. The game started at 1:30am and ended at 5:30am, but it was well worth it. We had nachos and chicken wings and pizza and beer and all was right in the world.

Adrienne
