Another view

Right now I am in the Capital (Windhoek) for
a few days then it is off to spend a week in
Okahandja with the new group of trainees.
They arrived a few weeks ago and during
their training cycle there are experienced
volunteers spending time with them to talk
and pass on what they've learned.
The picture is just a view from the room
that we are staying in.
Windhoek isn't a bad place as far as Capitals
go.
It is actually fairly easy to move around and it isn't
anywhere near as congested as other capitals. This
is due to the fact that Namibia is the second least
populated country in earth. Only Mongolia is less
densely populated.
After living in the bush for most of the two years
that I've been here, coming to the big city and having
access to the amenities is a treat. But, what
comes to mind is that the simplicity of the village
isn't such a bad thing.
But once in a while a little splurging isn't a bad
thing to do.
So for the next two weeks it is food, hot water and
real stores that have more than 10 things in them.
It is a time of plenty.
