Today was a bittersweet day for us, as we left the Becker's home near Omaruru. Peter Becker is a cattle farmer and professional hunter in Namibia, and he spent time in Nebraska (working on ranches) during his training program at a South African university. He and his wife Doris hosted us for our last night in Namibia, and we had a great time sitting around their table and enjoying some traditional Namibian stew (lamb and springbok versions!).
Today, we returned our camping equipment and a vehicle and most students and the good Dr. Pegg are headed for the airport. By all reports, it was an excellent trip, and there will be many stories to share upon return.
There will be some post-trip blogs to follow, after people get back to better internet connections. So, check back. Perhaps one of the quickest lessons learned was that we should be grateful for our mostly free internet connections and free WIFI. In Namibia, you pay for every minute you use, and there is no WIFI.
Happy trails everyone! Enjoy your return.
