My last shot from Mondesa had to be, of course, of my running friend.
He ran all the way to the township edge as I left:

We headed into Botswana.

I did not need a haircut, unfortunately, but an excellent shave and
beard trim was to be had most everywhere:

Our guide, Crispen Zimburu, told me that in Botswana I would see "very
many donkeys".  I was not disappointed:

The opposite of a Jim Shulman shot, a perfectly normal truck labelled
as abnormal:

In Africa large tracts of land have been bought by multinational
farming companies.  There were miles and miles of them along the road:

MP, Noctilux and Hexanon 50.  TMZ in a home made T-Max developer

More soon,
