I finally got to sit down with Toivo for lunch today. It was great to see him again. He sends greetings to everyone. He’s doing very well in school including an A+ in PE. He was pretty excited about that one. :) All of his American friends from the international school are driving at 16 so he’s looking forward to turning 17 when Namibians can get their learner’s permit. He’s playing soccer for the school team who just came in 2nd place in a tournament. We’re trying to figure out how we can watch some football together. He’s heading out to Arandis over the holidays to work on his midterm exams. Looks like we’ll get to be roommates again.
After we got back from Windhoek, it was so hot we went swimming at the dam, or as Jadon would say, we went for a dam swim. There was a great place to jump off into the water which makes for the first of today’s photos of the day.
Before lunch I got to walk around the Municipal Gardens in Windhoek which gave me opportunity to play with the macro settings on my camera, so today you get two photos of the day. I’m not typically a flower person so this one’s for Mike Mendola.
Fun times and old friends

color me jealous, bro! what a beautiful dam jump you two took!
Wow, consider yourself officially the more manly of the two of us. Since your arrival you have hunted, done some tile masonry and jumped off a dam huge precipice. I never would jump that as I have a rather girly fear of heights.
Pardon me...I need to go lift some weights and read about gears.

Hi! Mike, You really need to use more of the lotion! Haha!

Yes, it really is as high as it looks, about 25 feet or so. Joan even did it with us a few times!
I should've used more lotion. My back and shoulders are toasted. :P
