{I will learn to love the skies I'm under}


Hello again everyone! It's hard to believe it's almost Thanksgiving... crazy! The year will be over before you know it. 

Here are a few more photos of life lately, along with commentary :) 


Bekah and I in front of my hut! :) My friend and fellow PCV, Kyla, came over last weekend and took this photo for me. We had a great time! We made chicken pot pie, watched Christmas movies and attempted to do Zumba in my hut. :D 










Okay, so yes - I have to use a pit latrine every day. Yes, I take bucket baths. Yes I wash my clothes, dishes, and self with water that I carry from my borehole. But life here is pretty stinking awesome. We have amazing skies:



And adorable people:



Some of you have been a bit confused about hut electricity works.... I am too! But this is what it looks like inside my hut. The pink wire goes through my wall and is my connection to my host mom's house (where our meter is). When it rained last week we had to dig up that wire and duct tape it in a few places for my electricity to come back on!) Anyways....the wires going up run to a light bulb that is affixed to my thatched roof, and the grey cord runs to an outlet that sits on my floor. :)


My hut organization is improving! Woohoo for care package goodies and makeshift closet rods! 


That's all for now! If there's anything you're wondering about life in Namibia, let me know!

  1. Electrical code... what's that?

    I assume you have a 50 Hz system, what voltage?

    1. 220... and yeah, codes are fairly non existent, at least in the villages. :)
