Sunday stroll

A beautiful morning--warm, sunny, and very unlike the middle-Atlantic weather happening now. The Super Bowl is tonight, but will happen after we go to bed. It seems pretty remote, and football was always 3rd place after golf (of course) and baseball. We walked 2 blocks to the Botswana National Museum, which had buildings and other structures (including a kgotla, where kgosi, or chiefs, held audiences and trials).
The inside displays showed the geology, anthropology, and zoology of the country, including some nicely done diaramas like the one depicting wild dogs to the right.
After our visit, we passed the corner Catholic church, where gorgeous choral singing with African harmonies and syncopated rhythms were audible from the street. We went to the back of the church, and enjoyed the music for several minutes before returning to our flat.
One of my former HUP attendings, Rob MacGregor, whose interest is in ID, HIV, and TB arrived and will be sharing space with us for the next 2 wks. He had some great ideas about documenting and studying the frequent occurence of TB pericarditis, and this might make an interesting communication at the end of my stay in April.
Tonight, a Penn get-together (an English Roast at the home of Gill Jones, the local program administrator). We had to beg off on the scheduled 3PM jazz gig at the CC, but social obligations call!
