About Me

Mike Wigal
My name is Mike Wigal. I'm 59 years old. It's been over four years since the death of my wife, Jan Gill-Wigal. I've learned much about myself in that time. I'm still learning. This much I know: I neither ask from nor promise anything to anyone. If I give I give from my heart. If you give you give from your own free will. I'm smart and I'm stupid. Thoughtful and thoughtless. Brave and cowardly. You can both love me and hate me. Passionately. Simultaneously. I'm part saint, part sinner. Exciting and boring. Kind and cruel. I'm a work in progress. I love being alive. Oh yeah, This website expresses the views of me, Mike Wigal, who is entirely responsible for its content. It does not express the views of the United States Peace Corps, the government of Botswana or any other institutions named or linked to on these pages.

The Mamuno Rock Carvings

Went out into the bush last weekend. The head of the Village Development Committee (George), took an archaeologist from Gaborone (Judge), the other Peace Corps volunteer in Chuck Hill (Lesedi) and her mom and me to view the rock carvings done by whomever it was who lived in this area 35,000 years ago.

It was pretty remarkable. Too bad I'll NEVER have enough internet time to upload all or even the best photos of the petroglyphs. But I'll throw up what I can here.

I've spent a half hour trying to get one more picture up. Forget it. This one was about the best. Pretty self-explanatory

This picture is my wallpaper now.

You might find it easier and quicker to upload the pictures if you resize them first. Any simple (and free) image editor will do that for you.
