Windhoek (pronounced with a "v", not a "w")

Sun-
Today we went into Windhoek.  They took us to a mall, saying that the city center was too dangerous on a Sun (there are not many locals about, so we stand out as tourists/targets for pickpockets, etc).  While the mall was no great shakes, it enabled me to get some essentials.  For some reason the hiking boots I wore in Costa Rica  3 years ago have shrunk and gave me horrible blisters!, and the tennis shoes I bought are killing my heels, so new shoes were a must!)  Things in Namibia are expensive!  The cheapest "hiking" shoes (not even boots) I could find were about $50 USD, and the average price was closer to $100 USD.  I also purchased a hat and gloves for the very cold nights.  In the supermarket I found kosher cheese- very exciting!  Camembert, my favorite, and a blue cheese with cranberries that I'm excited to try.  Also, mayo was a must!  I can't imagine anyone voluntarily eating the tuna or salmon that comes in the foil packs if there is ANY alternative around.  I didn't find any tortillas though (how do you make bad corn tortillas?  I'm not sure, the ones I brought are pretty awful!)  A note about food.  I actually think I brought too much!  One pkg of couscous with the rehydrated soy crumbles, while not yummy, is filling, and lasted me 3 nights (one longer then I'd estimated).

The Internet cafe is very slow, and I looked at my pics (at this time, about 700), but to upload one took forever, so that's why no pics till I get home.

On the way home we saw some Warthogs (very cute, I think!) crossing the road, but they were too fast for me to get a pic :(
