1 first aid kit, 1 needle set, 1 snake bite kit, and loads of medicine

That is what it takes for me to be ready for 5 days on a farm in rural Northern Namibia. That, and as much clothing as I could possibly fit into my hiking back pack!

In an hour we are driving 5 hours to damaraland, where we will be going separately to stay with families. After a week there we will travel to Etosha Game park, and an environmental center up north, and have several educational lectures for another week. Then after stopping in at a refugee camp (I wonder who was pushing that one...) I'll be headed off to Victoria Falls in Zambia and Zimbabwe. Hopefully I can post between now and then- But if not, I'll return the last week in October- And HAPPY BIRTHDAY Tess, and Shira (in chronological order) Love you both and wish I was around to call... but this will have to do.

Can't wait to hear from everyone when I get back, and catch up on everything I missed!
