Greetings From Swakopmund!

Hey everyone, I know you have been all waiting for a post from this blog, as I have been waiting for the chance to write something. First off let me say I am sorry I haven't found an internet cafe until this morning, and that is the reason you have not seen any activity. Apparently third world countries are not that connected. But I have a 10 minute time limit so lets see what I can pump out:
To all those loving and caring parents (hopefully all of you) NO SERIOUS INJURIES! So that is a success. The majority of us have scrapes and bruises from seeing how far we could jump down a sand dune on the coast on our way to Swakopmund. So I assure you there is nothing to worry.
All of us travellers met several other students from Namibia and traded contacts, and several have already added us on facebook. We discussed our cultural differences and found many simmilarities picking up on some fantastic slang words.
We have seen Lions, Cheetas, Elephants, Rhinos, Zebra. We have also ate Gemsbok, Springbok, Ostrich, Kudu, and Impala.
We have been on game drives, we have been sand boarding, swimming, seen different cities and towns. We have climbed mountains, dunes, and waterfalls. We have waken to stunningly beautiful sunrises, and picture perfect sunsets.
I hope to post again soon with more detail, as there are so many experiences and sights I have left in the back of my memory card. With a minute left I am closing this blog for the time being letting you know THIS TRIP HAS CHANGED EVERYTHING I THOUGHT OF AFRICA. (all positive) So I apoligize if there are misspelled words or poor grammar. But T.I.A., and all is well.

Africa Blog

Hey everyone, this site is where the students (and alumni) will blog while in Africa. For those who don't know what to expect, this will simply be a place the students write entries about their experience so far while in Africa; being updated via laptop or iPad when we find areas with WiFi. Hopefully we are capable of not only uploading text entries to the page, but will also be capable of including photos and videos.
To stay up to date with entries, you can either hit the "follow" tab, or just check in every couple days.
