(Written Sunday, September 30th...had a hard time posting the pictures!)
It’s been another quiet weekend on my homestead… I kept myself pretty busy with daily tasks, some crafting, and this morning I took a nice walk around my village. That doesn’t sound like a big deal…but when your sense of direction is as bad as mine is, walking around a new place with few landmarks and no GPS is slightly daunting, haha. But I made it! :)

On the way I found –
A future hammocking spot:
And, of course, plenty of cows:
I also met two 5th graders along the way and walked with them for a little while. It was fun :)
Other highlights of my day include:
- Talking to my great aunt! I love trying to practice/learn Rukwangali with her! Every time I say something she just gets SO happy and laughs and claps her hands… it’s great!
- These delicious apple crepes I made for breakfast!
Haha…well that’s all for now! If there’s anything in particular you’d like to know about life in Namibia, please comment! :)
When you were scouting hammocking trees, did you also happen to find any good antenna stringing trees?
ReplyDeleteas it turns out... I'm forbidden by PC to transmit. :( sadness...
DeleteLooks like nests of a weaver bird. Many species in Africa. See if I can find out more.
ReplyDeleteOh good! That's what I was thinking! :) I will consult my guide and look carefully next time I'm out that way.
