Namibia update


I have good news in my plans to go to Namibia for two weeks; I now have three of my friends coming! Our friends Dan and Mandy both decided they should just join Adam and I on our road trip through the desert. The four of us get along really well and we all can hardly contain our excitement. We made a rule that whenever anyone mentions Namibia we have to do a goofy little dance. We have nearly everything booked for our trip. We will be going to the capital, Windhoek, then up to Etosha National Park, which is supposed to be one of the best game viewing parks in southern Africa, then to Swakopmund on the coast where there is a beach, huge seal lion colonies, and a lot of adventure activities, including sand dune boarding and skydiving. Then we'll be heading to Sossusvlei, which are the really big and picturesque sand dunes. Then it's back to Windhoek for a couple days as the four of us will part ways. I'm incredibly excited this is all working out so well because I have been wanting to go to this country for months now. Although I'm trying not to think about how sad I will be to leave the baboons. Soooooo excited!!
