then we went to swakamund - town on the coast of namibia - beautiful. the first day we took a tour and saw the town. It is a crazy german touristy looking town. we learned how it was set up during apartheid - we went to the DRC settlements - little shacks in the middle of nothingness desert then took a five minute drive to mansions on the beach - strange. so how do I cope with it? I decide to jump out of a plane :)
ok so pictures are out of order but you'll figure it out
here is kesem, jess and me about to head up
view from the plan - inbetween walvish bay and swakupmund
landis this one is for you!
dunes - some of the largest in the world - from the plane
during our hike back in windhoek - there are wild zebras if you look closely
flying through the namib sky!!!
hiking the most incredible dunes - it was spectacular - definitly one of the coolest things I've ever done
hiking again - namibia is a beautiful country
we got a flat tire on the way to swakup in the middle of the desert and had some good times while passat fixed the car
swakup beaches makes my heart joyful - well any beaches does - but it was really nice

Wow. I'm not sure how I feel about jumping out of a plane ;-) but wow.
I just got the okay-to-go for next semester. I'm bummed that you won't still be there. Maybe we'll cross paths before we start back at schools in opposite places.
Bel isi poro, (peace to you my friend),
