UNL students arrive in Windhoek!


Today was a fun day, with the arrival of Dr. Mark Pegg and 8 fellow travelers from University of Nebraska-Lincoln. They are in-country for a 2-week African Ecology field course.

Mark is the person mostly responsible for our year in Namibia, having made contacts with Polytechnic of Namibia previously on several trips. UNL students have been to Namibia in 2007 with Mark, and this year's group looks like they'll have some fun.

We accompanied them to a local carnivore's delight--Joe's Beerhouse, which serves up about every kind of game animal you can shake a stick at. Tomorrow they head out for parts unknown on their study tour. For more info on Mark's course (maybe you want to be a Fisheries and Wildlife major at UNL and come back with Mark in a couple years?!), you can go here.
