Namibian Salt Pan

Saturday, September 26, 2009

Hi everyone,
The night before last, 2:30am, the phone rang here. Before my feet hit the ground Gary said "it's Morgn". Hooray, we had a great talk with a clear connection. She shared some of the same information you have heard from your girls, and said the Salt Pan was the highlight of the trip so far. She has also updated her blog, where she talks about singing songs with the guys who poled the dug out canoes. On the phone she said she got to try and pole the canoe and it was very difficult. The guide in her boat gave her at totem, which she explained as a special name or designation in the Shona culture, her totem was dik dik...a very small antelope.

We did hear some about the "chobe chuck fest" At this point it was cause for more laughter than distress.

She shared that she and Mariel already have plan to take a road trip around the country to visit "TTS girls" after they are home. "We'll either have a southern trip or western trip" :) ... How exciting it is to see them becoming independent, confident women in the world.

The videos are awesome. Alice's birthday makes me cry every time!! - Thanks to all for sharing.

Kathy
