Hello from Nambia !!

Hello Readers:

I am still in Namibia, but had a few moments in a hotel that actually has internet that works (at least so far:-)) I am nearing the end of my trip and as usual I am anxious to come home. A trip of about 1 week or so seems to work best for me. Any longer and I miss home and my life there including work.

I only have several days to go and I must say that this is one hot country except for the coast. The temperature today I would guess is near +40C with clear skies and no clouds for relief. This morning we photographed a Himba Village. I would say there were about 100 people all together plus cattle, chickens, and goats. Instead of giving them money, we went to the supermarket and bought cooking oil, flour, bread and the like and presented them to the chief who them welcomed us into his village. The only no-no we were giving was not to stand or walk between the chief and the cattle as he must at all times have a view of his cattle???

The above photo was taken near Sossussvlei from a helicopter that two of the ladies and I took. To enable better photography, the doors on boths sides of the helicopter were removed. I will be sharing more of my images in blogs to come.

In the meantime, live well and prosper !

Later,
Dennis
