Goat heads and Roasting Coals

Last night we went to a traditional Herero Dinner. Herero is an African tribe with groups all over Namibia. We had goat head and rice, beans, sweet potatoes, a vegtable casserole, salad and drinks. For dessert she served ice creeam that was freezer burnt with a custard sauce. After dessert, she brough out a traditional Herero drink, sour milk. Only one of the group members tried that! It was. . . sour.

The dinner was held outside, where it was kinda chilly. So to help with the cold, they had pans of warm coals under the table to keep us warm. It was neat.

It was a great experience, once in a life. Today we are visiting SchoolNet, which is a group working to get computers with internet into every school in Namibia. Most of their systems work on Linus, a operating system sorta like Windows, but different. Luckily, I have Microsoft at my school and we are fortunate enough to have 31 computers. Some schools only have 5 for 30 students, per period.

We are having a Braai tonight, a tradional Namibian Barbeque. Should be fun!! Saturday I ship out!!

I'll post pictures of the goat head dinner as soon as I remember to save them to my USB drive and take it to the Internet Cafe with me!
