This part of the world must become part of your future travel plans

Namibia needs to be seen by all of you. No questions asked. Words can't really describe what I have seen and done. Desert, red sand dunes, white sand dunes, canyons, gorges, rolling hills, mountains, and lots of animals only seen previously by me in the zoo. We have camped under the stars with campfires every night and the sounds of animals all around us. The orange sunsets and sunrises are stunning and this unique full moon has illuminated the campsite each night. The food has been adequate at camp. Rice, beans, pasta, vegetables, meats and cheeses when available. The people on the trip are lots of fun. Most are in the 18-33 range, which would make me one of the oldest of the younger crowd. A few older people are also traveling, but it really is a fun group of Brits, Germans, Dutch, Aussies, Kiwis, and a couple of other Americans. Lots of laughs and lots of learning of new English words. The Brits and Americans may speak the same language but we don't use the same words or pronunciations to describe many of the same things. Can you believe that almost no one outside of North America has ever heard of s'mores. How can you camp without s'mores. Grocery stores don't even sell graham crackers and the Euros have never heard of the graham cracker. Apparently us Americans bastardize the English language. At least we do according to the Brits. I know it's unfair to compare Africa to SE Asia because they really are totally different but aside from Angkor Wat and The Great Wall of China, everything I have seen in my first week on this trip absolutely blows the sights of SE Asia out of the water. I don't regret seeing SE Asia and I am glad I saw what I saw so that I could learn about their cultures, but this is more my style. Everything is just stunningly beautiful and so photographic. Let's hope I can upload some pics.

Upload times suck. Will try to get more in the next few days.
