No visit to Namibia is complete without sandboarding on the amazing and massive sanddunes in the desert. So beautiful, so much fun, such a tough walk up those things! :)
So sandboarding... it's kind of like snowboarding except you do it in shorts because it's a hot desert outside and when you fall the sand is soft and doesn't hurt like snow and ice (which is really nice!). I have never snowboarded on really soft powdery snow, but I imagine that the sand is a lot more like powdery snow than the hard icy stuff that I've snowboarded on before. So much fun!
Looks like a lot of fun, especially now when it is 21 degrees tonight here...and that's fahrenheit. BBBRRRR.
ReplyDeleteSo strange to see you in shorts on the sand and hear that it's hot.
Take care, have fun and stay safe.
Kristen! I am posting this photo of you sand boarding on the study abroad bulletin board in the Honors Center! With your permission, of course! Love and miss you! Maria
