A Namibian Adventure: June 2013
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 28, 2013. See that curving mud/dirt road? That's what Lesotho's roads look like -. A bit of an adventure to drive on! Finally made some time to write about this! Apparently the building on the Lesotho side was washed away at some point… that might have been made up by the tour guide, but it’s totally possible – I think it’s relatively rare for there not to be a customs/immigration post to stamp you into a country! Bumpy almost the entire time we were in the car. A perfect way to end the day!

A Namibian Adventure: November 2012
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Big things have been happening in Nam this past week! People had been talking here and there about strikes but I definitely did not think anything would come of it. Well guess who was wrong? Last Tuesday during our staff meeting I saw a very. Teachers launch nationwide strike. Teachers threaten to defy interdict. PS fingers crossed that if the negotiations go according to schedule and finish Wednesday that we should be back to teaching on Thursday! Friday, November 2, 2012.

A Namibian Adventure: May 2013
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 29, 2013. The Grade 7s led the other girls in the dancing. On Friday it was the 50. Anniversary of the OAU – Organization of African Unity. After break we had a small program to celebrate as a school. I was so excited because I finally had another chance to film some traditional Owambo dances! I filmed a fair amount of things last year from the cultural groups, but I was extremely far away/my camera was half-broken so the quality wasn’t good enough, but now I have redeemed myself!

A Namibian Adventure: Luderitz is No More :(
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2013/08/luderitz-is-no-more.html
Friday, August 16, 2013. Luderitz is No More :(. Last week, in the stress of getting 50 girls organized to go on our girls group camping trip, I was informed that I don't live in Luderitz anymore. Immediately I had to drop what I was doing and see what was going on, and while I understand the reasoning, I'm actually pretty saddened by what has happened! One of oh-so-many signs that will need to be changed. If you want to read more about the town's reaction to this change: Buchters In Revolt. And Then We ...

A Namibian Adventure: The Hiking Chronicles
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-hiking-chronicles.html
Wednesday, September 11, 2013. As I struggle with putting into words how unbelievable it is that my last day of work is next Friday, and as I have not yet written about my final holiday here, I'll post something that I wrote a while back after my COS conference! This is going to be a CRAZY long post, apologies in advance! The following is a summary of my two years in African transport…. After this experience, I came to several conclusions, one of which was deciding never to travel in an open bakkie again.

A Namibian Adventure: Crazy for Crayfish!
http://nowlininnamibia.blogspot.com/2013/06/crazy-for-crayfish.html
Friday, June 14, 2013. DPS learners who participated in opening ceremonies. They're called drummies. Look at those fancy outfits! Turns out, these games they were hosting were actually pretty big. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised – when given an opportunity to miss work for a week to go watch people play soccer/netball/other assorted sports, what person working at a town council would say no? I am obsessed with this sign. All things seafood in there, so delicious! It was so interesting to hear about her ...
