Happy Thanksgiving from Windhoek! We were cooking up a storm, I think Catherine and I were in the kitchen since yesterday and only took a break to sleep and run to the gym. I am reminded of why I am not sold on the traditional American Thanksgiving - sweatpants and a ton of Chinese food sounded most appetizing. But I made the sweet potato fries, cheesecakes and banana bread. Turns out Namibia is not the appropriate climate for inordinate amounts of cooking for 30 plus people, 2 stoves and 10 or so chefs...the kitchen was really hot. It seemed to be successful, tons and tons of leftovers, but we have plenty of internships and places to take them.
Saturday we leave Namibia for Cape Town! It really hasn't sunk in that we are leaving Namibia for good (for now... ;) ) because we've been on the move so much. Even though we have started packing...I am trying to fit all of my newly accumulated belongings into my bag.
Tomorrow we have the whole day off - I don't even know what to do with myself! I am sure that there are places that would be nice to visit one last time, and maybe I will even get to sleep in past 7am. I am really excited for Cape Town, it certainly seems like there a lot of different things to see and I am excited for all the things we get to do. (For those of you that owe me lists of must-do activities, I am still waiting!) I will try and post something pleasantly reflective as a last (again, for now) Namibian blog tomorrow...and then it is off to Cape Town!
