Tsumeb



Well, even in Africa you can have normal, not so exciting days. We are in a great little town right now, the only thing is there isn't a lot to do! So, what do you do when you don't have a book to read because you've already read the last three you bought, and it's Sunday so nothing is open......

You play the German version of Settlers! It's great, being in Namibia with a lot of German influence, we were lucky to find Settlers, and Cities and Knights! We played two games complete with the "handelmeister" and I'm sad to say that Brian got more "spiegpunkts" than me and won both games.

One thing you probably didn't know that there are 10 minerals here in Tsumeb that can be found no where else in the world. We haven't seen them yet....the mineral gallery was closed. Brian was pretty excited to be there.



We also spent some time walking through the city....ie the park and the main street....about 5 times. These pictures were the results of our lazy afternoon. We figured that no trip is complete without a few silly pictures.

Hey guys. I think it's hilarious that Brian has the same expression whilst sitting on a pointed fence AND in front of the mineral gallery. Oh how I've missed that expression. Glad you're having some 'normal' times although I'm not sure how that's really possible with you two! Hope you have a great time at summer camp in S. Africa!

Hi, guys! Checked the Chintsa web site, and had to deal with envy. The site says that it's geared for the following types of people: "cool cats, cocooning couples, the jolly festives, the quiet contemplatives." What's your category? Maybe they'll open a new category for you. I'm assuming, Brian, that they'll see you as the "quiet contemplative." Tell them about the three books you've read! Looking forward to having you both nearby again! Blessings.

Hi there Glad to see that there are some places to sit without getting hurt. As you heard it is really cold here. Today it is -30c with the wind chill. To cold for sleding. Lots of snow drifts in the driveway. Come help shovel please. Love you both Mom
