End Of July

July's done.  So it's seven out of twelve months completed.  Makes me realize how quickly the year goes.

More Mokuti Food

More food from Mokuti Lodge.  We noticed that all the foods repeat often and that the soups seem to be cream based.  They have pretty good cooks, but they need an actual chef to raise them to the next level.

By The Sea?

The background looks like the sea, but it's not.  It's the giant dry salt pan in the middle of Etosha National Park.  The dry, crusty green-gray area is hundreds of kilometers square.  It fills up with water in the rainy season.

Rearing Back

This piece is just truly coming to life for me. I am on the second of four pages now and love the way it's looking.

Butterfly BnB

 This is where we stayed, in Windhoek, on our first night in Namibia.  We didn't go straight to Etosha because we didn't want to drive after dark.  We'd checked this place out on trip advisor and thought it sounded nice.  Although the staff was very good and the dog was uber friendly, the infrastructure was awful.  There was no heating.  The temperature got down to the thirties that night, and, even though we had every blanket possible on the bed, I froze.  The chairs were an ancient stuffed chair and two plastic lawn chairs  There as no privacy.  The curtains were all sheer (even in the bathroom), so anyone could look in at any point.  I felt very exposed.  It is a place, because of this, that I would never recommend to anyone despite the friendly staff.

 

Ante-Loping

Oryx, wildebeest, and a regular antelope walking along.

Two Hearts

Two hearts are done now.  I think it's beginning to look nice.
