After Tristan's last day of School, we had time to squeeze in one last trip together. Larkin is finishing some interviews with commercial farmers, so we headed up to an area north of Windhoek, near Otjiwarongo.
.
We spent a night with the Beckers, a husband and wife that we met in a cafe in Otjiwarongo during a trip with Larkin's brother. They invited us to come by their farm, as Peter had spent time in Nebraska in the 1970's....even on East Campus at UNL (where Larkin works). We had a great time on their farm. They are members and officers in the Kalkveld Conservancy, so we worked an interview in during our stay.

We then visited the Waterberg plateau, where Larkin had spent time with his students during the past year. We stayed at the guest farm of the president of the Waterberg Conservancy, and also completed another interview.

Then, it was off to Kamanjab to deliver 51 copies of the CD we created for the Kamanjab Combined School Choir. A whirlwind trip through a country that is starting to 'green up' after new spring rains (photo above is of a rainstorm on the plains near Otjiwarongo). Lots of calves in cattle yards and young kudu, oryx, and impala. Spring has arrived in Namibia. Our photos of the trip are on the Picasa site.

Now, the packing begins in earnest.
