Day 4

My mom had a very happy birthday yesterday, with the Packers winning the Super Bowl in honor of her big day! Happy Birthday, Momma!! I woke up literally at 3:30 am here (I'm still not adjusted to the time change!) and frantically tried to find a way to watch the Super Bowl. It was not on TV and I was not able to open any of the internet feeds where René and I were able to watch Badgers games while we were in Montreal. Unfortunately, there was also no radio feed available in Namibia. So I ended up "watching it" on espn game cast (lame).

Tonight we went out to dinner at the Franco-Namibian Cultural Center. Before dinner there was a art opening for a local artist, which was pretty neat. René and I ended up talking to him for a while about his opinion that women wear too much make-up these days. Ha, ha. Anyway, the dinner was great and our waiter was very friendly. We tried a springbok dish that was really tasty. I also had moussaka, which is kind of funny. A Greek dish at a French restaurant in Namibia.

The weather has been pretty perfect. This morning I sat outside with my Kindle, in the shade, for an hour or so. It was 81 (F) and beautiful! But then, while René and I were having lunch on our porch it started to rain. It is definitely the rainy season here! And we hear that Namibia is getting an abnormal amount of rain this year. When the rain comes in it really cools down and it usually rains buckets for quite a while. I'll post a pic of the crazy, heavy rain that came last night.
