Hello, it's a lazy Sunday morning, I slept until 8:30 today! Which honestly is quite a feat here, between the sunrise and having 5 other roommates. I would like to go to church here, but thus far haven't found one that is in English. Yesterday Julia and I went to the Namibian National Art Gallery, it was really nice and I'm glad that we went. Museums here are usually not very well funded, but thankfully this one was. While it wasn't very big, they had some nice pieces of art and a great display that was made up of photos from the community, 100 years after the Herero genocide. After the museum, we had lunch and walked to Parliament Gardens. The Gardens are really beautiful, and actually the one place I've seen in Windhoek with grass (the advantages of manicured lawns in the desert). I did take some photos, so I will post those soon. It is actually hard to take photos here, because a lot of the time I don't feel safe carrying it around. But I am trying!
Today is a serious homework and gym day, this Thursday we are leaving for Swakupmund! I am so excited to get to the coast...I have been feeling to far away from the ocean lately. And yesterday I booked my sea kayaking - apparently there will be lots of seals! I can't wait!
Hello Hannah,
