Namibia (1)

Last fall I went to a meeting about agriculture and carbon
in Namibia,which is in southwestern Africa.

We flew into Windhoek, which is very modern and nice.

Then we drove west to Swakopmund on the sea coast.

It is a tourist town with beaches and nice shopping and restaurants
and they say there is a huge sand dune, but I didn't see it.

And lots of interesting European architecture...we stopped
for an hour, then went out to the research station where
we were actually working.
