Baboon tribe spotted on roadside

It's Sunday, so of course it's off to work with us. On the way to the mine, I spotted what looked like monkeys by the roadside, ambling along. As we got closer I saw it was the famed baboon tribe, making their twice-daily migration across the valley. I'd never seen baboons in the wild before, so though it was brief the image is burnt in my memory. I must take my camera along if I'm passing by there at that time again.

Once at site, during a casual conversation late in the day I got some pointers on speaking Tswana, the local language here. It seems to be fairly straightforward, with a root word which has a tense syllable after it and some prefixes that give it context. I'm sure it's more complicated once you get into it of course. I've learnt a couple of words... one of the engineers taught me "Gosiame", which means "Goodbye", and online I read "Dumela" is hello. I'll give them a try at work tomorrow. Remembering to pronounce the G in the same as a Russian H will be the trickiest part. I get giggles when I pronounce it like an English G...
