Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Enjoy your turkey today, and be safe. We will be enjoying the day together as a family. It doesn't feel the same (mostly because it's not a holiday here and everyone is about their business as usual), but that's ok. We were at least able to find some turkey meat at a store (not a whole turkey)...

But, most of all, don't forget the reason why we celebrate. It's a time to give "thanks". Why and to whom? Simple...

"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good." (Psalm 136:1)

For those of you who saw the spider post and got scared off... (PART 2)

...or, how about this picture - taken from the top of one of the dunes around Swakop...


Ready to buy your plane ticket yet? A team is coming in May of next year. You wanna join them??

SAND! No Kidding?!

This has got to be my most favorite road sign ever... I mean EVER.

(in case it's not obvious...)

This can be found on the drive from Swakopmund to Walvis Bay (just a bit west of us on the coastline of Namibia).

For those of you who saw the spider post and got scared off...

I know that some of you who were considering a visit got a little creeped out by the picture of the camel spider. So, to help you with your decision, I decided to put up another picture of the nearby coastline...

(click the picture to enlarge)

Now. Who wants to visit?
