Medical and Vacas

I've spent the past week vacationing in my own town- Windhoek.  There are a few volunteers in town for mid-service medical checkups and even more volunteers free-loading off them and their posh hotel rooms.  Below are some picture highlights of the past week.

Juli, Cynthia, Elissa, Lindsay,  Elizabeth and Patrick play King's Cup.	Tuesday night was dinner at Jeff's (out country director).  We had chilli and ice cream and it was all delicious.	Matt sporting his "Windhoek pink" polo shirt.

Megan enjoying strawberries and ice cream- wonderful!	One night I had seven people sleeping on my floor.  It was a bit crowded... Here's Ellie, Cynthia, Chris and Matt not quite awake yet.	Mike had to crawl though the window of our hotel room because the key got locked inside.  Technically this should be impossible... but hey, we're Peace Corps!

Elissa, Jule, Elizabeth, Andrew and Silas all rented a car to drive to Sossusvlei where the largest sand dunes in the world live.  They didn't have a lot of room for five people and camping gear, but they made it work... hey, we're Peace Corps!		Dan, Me, Mark and Juli enjoying a cheap dinner at our Peace Corps provided hotel room.

Amy enjoying a large cup of Coke which she only gets once a week at her site- one of the most remote in all of Namibia!	Thursday night was all you can eat pizza at Pavorati's.  It would have been fun if not for the cream corn pizza and the hot dog and mustard pizza... yuk!

Dan and I split a family sized pizza at Pavorati's Sunday night.  It was great!	Dan, barly awake enjoys a block of cheese.  It's a Peace Corps thing.	Mark sporting the newest style trends in Namibia- blindingly blue shorts and a sweater with no shirt.  Guapo!

We were all sure that Peace Corps would be putting us up in a place like this... we were pleasantly suprised.
