So Close!

Hey Everyone!
I hope you guys are enjoying summer as it starts to come to an end. Unlike in the northern hemisphere, where the weather is most likely starting to cool, the weather here in Namibia is getting hotter and hotter, and everything is starting to burn. Even at night, I barely need a sweater, where a month ago, I was bundled up in a big poofy jacket! It's like a switch was turned on.... We've been in the 80's for the last several weeks, and it only hits a low in the 50's at night. It's much different than a high in the 60's in the day without the extra wind chill, and a low in the 20's, brrr. . .




Regardless of the climbing temperature, this past week has been super busy, and I believe Mike, the head of tourism, mentioned that it was one of the busiest weeks on record, not for this year, but in general! It has been nuts! This past week may not have been super interesting, but it was certainly busy.

Also, this past week another couple of interns left, Whitney and Garrett. It was really sad to see Whitney go, as she has been here since I arrived in June. But even though she was leaving, all of the interns went out for dinner the night before they left. It was great! We ate good food and celebrated her time here, as well as played a good game that was entertaining to say the least.

It has been very interesting to see the flow of people through CCF. Some people only stayed for a week, while others have stayed for a month or longer. From the start of my internship to now, there is only 1 other intern who was here when I arrived, and all of the interns except one will have left before me. It's odd, getting to know so many people, but then to watch them leave shortly after. To an extent, it feels like time is an illusion. I can't believe that it has already been almost 10 weeks since I arrived, but at the same time, it feels like its been an eternity. Even with Whitney being gone only a week, it feels like much longer than that. With that in mind, I'm not sure if the next 1.5 weeks is going to go by quickly or slowly, probably a bit of both...

I am sorry that this one is so short, but most of my weeks has been working on the various tasks we have here at CCF. Have a nice week everyone!

Also, enjoy these pictures of a cheetahs and an adorable baby goat and me!

Senay being the queen of the hill!
