A Taste of Opuwo

1.) Celebrating my birthday with a cake made by Ayoola!
2.) Me, Erica, Lindsey, Jen W, Ayoola, Chloe, Norene and Evelyn at the Opuwo Country Lodge the weekend we had many visitors
3.) A view on the way to the lodge
4.) Front porch, braiding extensions into Loryn's hair
5.) Ayoola, ever the teacher, showing Tjiuee some new words
6.) Tjiuee giving her mischievous-face on the porch alonside Mickey and a bowl of the Namibian staple food of porridge
7.) Dune (pronounced Doo-nah) after we covered her in fairy glitter...it was stuck to her for days, oops!
8.) Himba women on the walk to Will's place
9.) One of the many churches in Opuwo; this one boasts a lot of pretty greenery outside
10.) The sun setting behind the mountains; view from the Opuwo Country Lodge
